Decorating with reindeer ornaments adds a special touch to your festivities, making your home feel cozy and inviting during the most wonderful time of the year. So, why not add a few reindeer ornaments to your collection and let these lovable creatures add a touch of magic to your holiday celebrations?

You will need:

Clear glass or plastic ornament
Brown craft paint
Red pom pom
Brown chenille stem/pipe cleaner
Google eyes
Hot glue or craft glue

Directions:

1. After removing the hanger cap from the ornament, gently pour in a tablespoon of brown paint. Cover the opening with a piece of tape and your finger, shake well until the inside of your ornament is coated completely brown.

2. Turn the ornament upside down into a small cup and give it a few hours for all excess paint to drip out of the top of the ornament.

3. Wipe any excess paint drips from the top of the ornament.

4. Apply hot glue to back of google eyes, trying not to touch with the hot tip of gun or it can melt them easily. You can also use a tacky craft glue if you prefer and want to let the kids do this part.

5. Attach the red nose the same way to the front of the ornament.

6. For the antlers wrap one brown pipe cleaner around the neck of the ornament where your cap comes off and twist tightly. Spread each end out on either side for antlers. Cut 2 more pieces of pipe cleaner at about 2” long and wrap one around each piece of longer pipe cleaner.

7. Add a string or hook and hang your ornament on the tree.
