It’s Rudolph! Isn’t this a cute reindeer?
And guess what he is actually a box so you can fill it with fun treats. Maybe chocolate covered raisins or peanuts (for reindeer poop)!
This idea came from Cindee Wilkinson.
Here is what I used for my reindeer.
Cut two sets of Crumb Cake card stock with the Holiday Stocking Bigz die and the Big Shot Die-Cut machine. Sponge the edges on both sides of the stockings, the toe pieces, and the heel pieces. I did not use the cuff pieces. The stocking is the head. Glue the toe pieces in place. The heel piece is what I used for the ears.
Cut one Box #2 (or Mini Milk Carton) from Crumb Cake card stock. This becomes the box on the inside between the two sides of the reindeer. I used the Box #2 and cut off one end. If you use the mini milk carton cut off the top to make a short box or leave the top without folding to make a taller box.
Cut two sets of Swirls Scribbles Sizzlit Die and the Big Shot Die-Cut machine. I used Chocolate Chip card stock. These are the antlers.
Punch a 3/4″ circle of Red Glimmer Paper for the nose – one for each side.
Punch a 3/4″ circle of Whisper White card stock for the eye – one for each side.
Punch a 1/2″ circle of Basic Black card stock for the eye – one for each side. Add a white gel pen glimmer to the eye.
Use a Chocolate Chip Stampin’ Write marker to add faux stitching around the head and to add a smile.
Tear a 1″ strip of fabric from the Spice Cake Designer Fabric pack (the Soft Suede print) and tie it around the neck of the reindeer. Add a Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Button, some White Baker’s Twine and mini jingle bells.
Many of the items used in this project are in the Holiday Mini catalog. We only have a short time left to order from it so don’t delay.
Have fun!
and a few more Christmas Activities for you –
Dec. 18th – create a Christmas Scrapbook page – check back later this week and I’ll be posting the ones we made at my December Scrapbook class.
Dec. 19th – Make a garland. Use popcorn or paper rings or die cut stockings. There are lots of different ways to make a garland – then hang it on the tree, on your mantle, or the staircase.
