Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is almost as much a part of Christmas as Santa is. He is definitely a favorite at our house. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is among the many Christmas movies we watch every year. We also have the book and after reading it recently we decided to pull out our craft supplies and make a burlap reindeer ornament that looks a lot like our favorite reindeer.  

Kids will love making this reindeer ornament inspired by a favorite Christmastime character, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer for the Christmas tree.

This reindeer ornament is a great one to do at home with your kids or set up in a group. They are quick and easy to set up with just a few craft supplies and glue. 

Supplies

  • Mini burlap triangle 
  • Googly eyes
  • Mini clothespins
  • Small red pom poms
  • Glue
  • Craft jute twine or string

We used gold glitter mini clothespins that I had picked up previously as part of a set and had in my craft box.  I felt they were the best size from our collection of clothespins for our reindeer’s antlers. They are 1.5 inches tall. If you are wanting the gold glitter look you could paint mini natural clothespins gold and add gold glitter. You could also paint them brown or just leave them natural.

Directions

1. If you have the premade triangles like we did, you can skip this step. If not you will need to cut your burlap into small triangles. 

2. Glue two googly eyes onto the burlap and a red pom pom for the nose.

3. Add two small clothespin for the antlers.

4. Form a small loop with the twine (or string) and glue to the back of the reindeer ornament to hand the ornament.

5. Hang from the Christmas tree and enjoy or give it as a gift.

    How do the clothes pins not flop the top of the reindeer over? They’d be heavy.

      They are really small lightweight clothespins for crafting Andrea.

    If I choose to cut my own triangles, what are the dimensions? You never mentioned that part in the instructions.

    Looks like there is some type of stitching on the burlap, did you stitch two pieces of the burlap together?

      Each reindeer is just one burlap triangle Cindy. I bought precut burlap triangles with stitching on them (likely to prevent fraying). There is a link to similar burlap triangles on Amazon in the post.

    These are adorable, and so EASY! Might be great for a grandparents gift this year, especially given that my 3-year-old is obsessed with gluing lately.

    would it work to simply take the glue and on the back of burlap that we cut ourselves follow the outline of what would have been sewn in order to prevent the fraying? i dont think it would show thrugh after it dried if it was elners. just dont use a lot but a thin strip to hold the treds so they wouldnt fray.
