DLTK's Chrismas for Kids
Reindeer Candy Cane Craft

This is a cute reindeer craft that you can hang on the tree as an ornament or attach to a gift as a special decoration.  This is a great project for an older sibling (9 thru 13) to make for their little brother or sister for Christmas.

The project requires use of a hot glue gun (a low temp craft version works great).  Children should be supervised one on one by an adult while using the glue gun.

Materials:

  • candy cane
  • red or brown pipecleaner
  • small wiggle eyes
  • small red beads
  • red ribbon
     
  • hot glue gun
      you could try using regular white glue, but it would be a real challenge to get everything to stay stuck on.

Instructions:

  • fold the pipe cleaner in half and twist it around the top of the candy cane
     
  • Bend some zig zags in both sides of the pipe cleaner to make it look more like an antler
     
  • Put a dot of hot glue where the pipe cleaner touches the candy cane to hold it in place
     
  • Hot glue the red bead to the tip of the candy cane
     
  • Hot glue the wiggly eyes just under the antlers
     
  • tie a piece of red ribbon in a bow around the long part of the candy cane about half way up.  Again you could put a dab of hot glue to hold the ribbon in place.
