C2C - 23 Days! Paper Bag Reindeer - DIY

Hey guys! Countdown 2 X-Mas - 23 Days. Are you as excited as I am? EEKK!

This one is a cool craft that you can do, it's really simple and younger siblings would love these. Honestly, it's more for little kids. =D


You can create the entire herd of Santa's reindeer and have a fun puppet show!

Decorate your whole home with festive Christmas crafts! Create homemade cards, your own Christmas ornaments, tasty Christmas recipes, or just snuggle up together with printable Christmas activities.

What you'll need:
Brown paper lunch bag
Medium black pom-pom
White craft glue
Construction paper: black, white and tan/brown
4 jungle bells
Scissors
Red plastic milk jug lid
Glue stick
Gold paint pen
Pattern

How to make it:
Use white glue to attach the black pom-pom to the flap of the bag. (See photo.)
Cut out the eyes using the pattern as a guide. You will need two brown/tan eyelids, two white eyes, and two black pupils. aceemble the eyes with a glue stick. Use the glue stick to attach the eyes to the front of the bag above the pom-pom nose. (See photo.)
Cut a strip of black paper with width of the paper bag, about one inch wide. Cut a small piece of black paper for the nametag hanger. Glue the small strip to the center of the larger strip so that it is hanging down.
Use gold paint pen to write "Comet" on the red plastic lid. Glue the lid to the bag, overlapping the small black strip (hanger). (See photo.)
Use a generous amount of white craft glue to attach 4 jingle bells to the black strip (collar). (See photo.)
Trace child's hands onto brown/tan paper and cut out. Use glue stick to attach the hands to the back of the bag as the antlers.


Tips:
To make this puppet into Rudolph, use a red pom-pom and write "Rudy" on the plastic lid.
Instead of hand print antlers, you can simply cut simple antlers from brown paper.
You can use large wiggle eyes instead of our pattern if you prefer.
