How To Make A Toilet Paper Roll Reindeer Craft:
STEP 1: Start with the clean toilet paper roll, as this is going to be the base of your cute reindeer craft. This toilet paper roll will be the body of your reindeer craft.
STEP 2: Grab a pipe cleaner to make the antlers. Bend each pipe cleaner in half (if that’s too long), and then make two antlers for our cute reindeer craft. Make branches by bending the pipe cleaner outwards, to make antlers look more realistic.
STEP 3: Once you’ve given antlers your desired shape and size, glue it to the top of the toilet paper roll on each side. They should be sticking towards the outside direction mimicking the real antlers of the reindeer. (TIP: you can use the clothespin to hold the antlers in place until they are completely dry).
STEP 4: Grab two googly eyes and stick them almost halfway down on the toilet paper roll to give your reindeer a cute look. This will make your Rudolph craft look more curious.
STEP 5: Glue a red pom-pom just below the eyes, and this will be the reindeer’s nose. Place the pom-pom in the center of the eyes. This will give your reindeer a more festive and cute look resembling it to look like a real reindeer.
STEP 6: Take a maroon or brown construction paper, and cut two cute and big ears. With the help of a glue stick, stick it in an outwards direction on both sides of the toilet paper roll (just on the side of the eyes and below the antlers).
STEP 7: Using a black marker pen, draw a cute smiling line just below the nose. Make it a bit curved to give your reindeer a more friendly look adding more expressions.
STEP 8: Finally, check all the items are glued securely. Check if the antlers are properly glued and adjust the shape if you are not satisfied. Let everything dry completely before displaying it.
STEP 9: And here you have your toilet paper roll reindeer craft. Use it as a display on your front door, or use it as a Christmas tree ornament, the choice is yours.
Tips For Cute Toilet Paper Roll Reindeer Craft:
Tip 1: For a different and unique look, try using different colored pom-poms like brown, black, or pink. And if you’re planning to make a whole reindeer family, give every character a different colored nose to make every family member look unique and different.
Tip 2: You can add a glittery touch to Rudolph’s antlers by twisting a glittery colored pipe cleaner on the brown pipe cleaner. This will make your toilet roll reindeer craft shine and glow in the dark.
Tip 3: To give the antlers more fuller look, twist more pipe cleaners to make multiple branches. Use different colored pipe cleaners like red, green, and gold, using brown as the base. This will give your cute reindeer an enchanted forest look.
Tip 4: To add a character to your Rudolph craft, try adding a scarf, made from paper or scrap fabric or ribbon. You can also make a small bow or ribbon and attach it to the antlers.
Tip 5: Experiment with ear shapes and sizes. Try making the pointy ears or rounded ears and check which one looks better. You can also use textured or felt paper to make ears, to add more softness.
Tip 6: To add more expressions to the face, using a black marker draw small eyelashes or eyebrows around the eyes. A few dots mimicking freckles can also help your reindeer look cuter.
Tip 7: Using white paint or marker, draw small dots on the toilet paper to give it a snowy and wintery effect.
Tip 8: You can also make a whole reindeer family by simply changing the size of the toilet paper rolls, different shaped antlers, different colored noses, and adding elements like scarves, bows, and more. Making a whole toilet paper roll reindeer family will add a more festive display.
Tip 9: Use this as a Christmas tree ornament as I do. Punch a hole in the back of the toilet paper roll, insert a ribbon or twine, and tie a knot to make sure it hangs properly. And here you have your cute reindeer ornament craft. Hang it on your Christmas tree to enhance the look of your Christmas decor.
Tip 10: Use hot glue will make sure all the pieces are secured and stay in their place. This extra step will prevent the pieces from falling off over and over again. Just be careful with the hot glue, when you are crafting with little ones.
