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:

  • 1 curtain ring
  • Brown wool
  • 1 needle
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • 2 shades of brown felt
  • 1 red pompom (for the nose)
  • 2 googly eyes
  • 1 safety pin

Instructions:

  • Cut your brown wool into strips of about 15cm (you will need lots of strips!)
      
  • Fold 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
      
  • Continue 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)
      
  • Use 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)
      
  • Cut a shape for the reindeers head out of the dark brown felt and antlers from the light brown felt
      
  • Glue the antlers to the head and then the head to the curtain ring
      
  • Glue the googly eyes and pompom on to the face
      
  • Attach the safety pin to the back and you have a groovy reindeer badge!
