Candy Cane Reindeer


We love to do crafts.  Especially ones where we can use stuff around the house.  Boog wanted to make candy cane reindeer for his classmates this year.  I thought we could do Rudolf, but I must have been late at getting out to the craft store.  All the brown pipe-cleaners and red pon-poms were gone. I imagine finding these at Cristmas time is like trying to find Ferrari parts for a 1980 model...not so easy.  No worries.  The rainbow colored ones (of each) didn't make them any less cute.



What You'll Need
Pipe cleaners (any color)
small googly eyes
small pon-poms
candy canes

Glue eyes and nose to front of candy cane.  Attach antlers (pipe cleaner) by twisting at top of "head".  We also put a drop of glue to hold antlers in place.

This is a fun and easy project for smaller kids and a great gift for friends.

  1. We love making these! Sometimes we will even take two candy canes and glue them side by side so that the curved parts look like two antlers sticking out on either side. Then we will glue the eyes, nose, and mouth down. I really like the ones you have though cuz I love the pipe-cleaner eyes. Thanks for sharing.

  2. I've actually asked someone if they wanted a kiss, then handed them a hershey's kiss. Maybe you can save the candy for a date and say something equally cheesy like, "sweets for the sweet."

  3. Visiting blogspot Bridge and Beyond Team Members today to say Merry Christmas, and to ask everyone to double their efforts with donations, the need is great and growing daily.

    CUTE craft, gonna make a few for my niece and nephew (hope I can find the time).

    I've not been able to visit your because someone cares blog, it either won't load (as I've tried to drop off and on over the last wk), or like today when I came to your profile to get to each of your blogs it loaded, and as soon as scroll down to get to your recent post to read or comment it flashes and goes away. This has happened multiple times, something must be wrong with the code?
