There are many symbols of Christmas. For example, you probably first think of Santa Claus and perhaps his busy elves. You may also value the religious aspect of the holiday and all that comes with it. And, of course, there’s always Santa’s reindeer that have a challenging job ahead of them every Christmas. Moreover, you already know that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is the most famous reindeer of all. This year, make some playful Rudolph ornaments for the Christmas tree. You can make these at home with just a few easy steps.
What You’ll Need to Give Rudolph Life
You’ll love making these ornaments so much. One of the nice aspects of this project is that you will only need a few items to make Rudolph. You can find the following items in a craft store near you if you don’t already have them:
- Red pom poms or foam holiday baubles
- Craft foam
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- A round Christmas ornament
To Get Started
Firstly, you will want to place a bead of hot glue on the pom pom or bauble. Then glue it to the center of one side of the ornament. Next, cut out the shapes of antlers from the craft foam. Then run a line of hot glue along the bottom of each antler. You should then put the antlers on top of the ornament and hold it for a few seconds. This will ensure that the antlers are set firmly in place.
Where to Put Them
Naturally, it’s best to place the ornaments on the Christmas tree. You can use the existing ornament hook or string to do this. Furthermore, make multiple Rudolph ornaments to place on the tree. Spread them out strategically for a tree full of reindeer. However, you can also place the ornaments on a coffee table, end table, or even the dining room or kitchen table. You may also put them on a bookshelf to display prominently.
Involve Everyone
As you can see, making these Rudolph ornaments is easy. In fact, everyone in the family can contribute. For instance, this is an excellent craft idea for kids to learn how to create their own Christmas ornaments.
