Remember our little spoon snowman? Well, he needed a buddy, so enter in our little reindeer!
You will need:
One of those little ice cream spoons
Brown paint
A black Sharpie
Three small brown buttons
A small piece of ribbon
The tinniest red pom-pom you can find
A brown pipe cleaner
Cord
Paint your little spoon, brown. When it is dried, tie a little bow with your ribbon and glue over the part where the spoon narrows. Glue your three buttons down his front, and then add his face using the pom-pom as the nose. Cut small lengths of the pipe cleaner. Two about .5 inch to a full inch long. Glue them on the back to give him his antlers. Make a loop with your cord and hot glue both ends to the back of the spoon. If you want you can glue two short (about a quarter inch) segments at the top of the forehead, you could also use a small amount of brown felt, if that is easier.
Can you believe how close Christmas is? I am not ready! Pause time so I can catch up!!!
He is adorable!! If I had some extra time (I never have *extra* time, but you know what I mean), I'd definitely be making these to include on packages. I'm bookmarking this page now so I can put it in a file for next year.
Ahh! How darling! You had me at the buttons and "tiniest red pompom you can find"! CUTE!
Cute! And the week before Christmas always goes SO FAST!
