DLTK's Christmas Crafts for Kids
Reindeer Badge

Contributed by Heather, Age 12  (Thanks Heather!)

I’ve seen your website and tried out a few of the ideas and they are great I really enjoyed making them.

I have an idea that maybe you could add to your website. You may want to change the wording on the instructions to make it easier to understand for younger children. I made it at a Christmas crafts club at school last year and it was really successful.

Materials:

bullet1 curtain ring
bulletBrown wool
bullet1 needle
bulletScissors
bulletGlue
bullet2 shades of brown felt
bullet1 red pompom (for the nose)
bullet2 googly eyes
bullet1 safety pin

Instructions:

bulletCut your brown wool into strips of about 15cm (you will need lots of strips!)
  
bulletFold the a strip of wool in half and place on the back of the curtain ring push the two ends through the loop and pull tight
  
bulletContinue to do this until the curtain ring is completely covered in wool(remember to push the loops of wool up close together for a better effect)
  
bulletUse the needle to separate the strands of thread on each strip of wool (this may take a long time but makes it look much better)
  
bulletCut a shape for the reindeers head out of the dark brown felt and antlers from the light brown felt
  
bulletGlue the antlers to the head and then the head to the curtain ring
  
bulletGlue the googly eyes and pompom on to the face
  
bulletAttach the safety pin to the back and you have a groovy reindeer badge!
