This reindeer's nose isn't his only noteworthy feature. His antlers also make a festive display rack for hanging your Christmas ornaments.
| Prep Time: About 2 to 3 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| 12- by 18-inch piece of brown craft foam
Scissors 64-ounce juice bottle with a red cap, emptied and rinsed Craft knife Sand Funnel 2-inch Styrofoam ball 3- by 2-inch scrap of black craft foam Craft glue (we used tacky glue) 2 branched sticks (ours were about 2 feet tall) 2 clothespins Holiday ornaments and ribbon | |
| Seasons: Christmas | |
| Materials: craft foam | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  On the brown craft foam, draw 2 ears and a pear-shaped
head, as shown. Draw 2 asterisks at the top of the head where the
antlers will go and trace the bottle cap at the other end for the
nose. Use scissors to cut out the head, ears, and nose hole, then
cut the asterisks to make holes. |
| 2. |  Mark 2 asterisks at the bottom of the bottle, about 4
inches apart, and cut those with a craft knife (a parent's job).
Use the funnel to fill the bottle with sand. |
| 3. |  Put the head shape onto the bottle by pushing the spout
through the nose hole. For eyes, cut the Styrofoam ball in half
with a craft knife (a parent's job). Cut 2 quarter-size circles
from black craft foam and glue one on each of the Styrofoam
pieces. To help the foam circles stick, turn over each eye and
press down hard, flattening the rounded edge. |
| 4. |  Screw the cap on and lay the bottle on its side. Glue the
eyes in place. Next, line up the asterisk holes in the head with
the ones in the bottle, then push the antler sticks through. Glue
on the ears, using clothespins to hold them in place while they
dry. To finish, decorate Rudolph's antlers with holiday ornaments
tied on with ribbons. |
