Popette loved making these cute little toilet roll reindeer's.
All you need is:
2 toilet rolls
Stick-on googly eyes
Scissors
Long pipe cleaners (3 x large + 2 small)
Small pom-pom for nose
Paint brush
Water
A selection of water based paints
Sticky tape
Method:
Popette & I first painted the toilet rolls in the colours we wanted our reindeers, Popette decided on a rainbow reindeer, whereas I was a little more traditional.
Once the paint dried we stuck on the googly eyes and pom-pom nose on to one toilet roll which created the head.
To create the antlers:
Using scissors on the ‘head’ toilet roll, cut a small hole towards the back. (see a.)
a. Hole for antlers |
Then fold a pipe cleaner in half. At the fold, twist a little, then feed through the hole to form the antlers. (see b.)
b. Pipe cleaner twisted at top - used for antlers & legs |
c. Holes for the legs |
d. How the legs should look |
It’s basically the same as the antlers, just fold over a little at each end to form a hoof. On the top of the same toilet roll, I made another little hole, this is to feed through a small pipe cleaner for the neck which holds on the head. Its quite wobbly, so I used a little tape for extra support.
You will need to create a matching cut into the ‘head’ so you can feed the neck through.
If you have a small piece of pipe cleaner you can stick that on to form a tail.
