How to Make a Paper Reindeer Ornament


Winter is a great time to make fun holiday crafts. You can make your own lightweight reindeer ornament to hang up at home. This craft is easy to do with just a few basic craft supplies. It will make your room look bright and festive for the season.
First, gather all of the supplies you will need on a clean table. You will need one sheet of brown construction paper. You will also need crayons, a glue stick, a piece of yarn or string, and child-safe scissors. Having all your items ready makes crafting fun and neat.
Now you are ready to begin making your reindeer. Use your brown crayon to draw a large circle on the paper for the reindeer head. Next, place your hand on another part of the paper with your fingers spread wide. Trace around your hand with a crayon two times to make two antlers. Use your child-safe scissors to carefully cut out the circle and both hand shapes along the lines.
