I love Christmas crafts with the boys and this reindeer bauble is so easy and fun to make. All of our supplies are from Hobbycraft, we have the Christmas Bumper Craft Tub (which is only £5!), which has a whole host of supplies, including most of the items required for this craft (you will need glue and gold glitter as well).
You will need:
Polystyrene ball
Glue
Gold glitter
Pipe cleaners
Googly eyes
Red pom pom
Ribbon
1. Roll the ball in glue and then roll in the glitter, this is a great sensory experience (once golden you could add wings and make a golden snitch instead)!
2. Once dry, cut two lengths of pipe cleaner and poke into the polystyrene ball.
3. Bend the pipe cleaners and twist extra pieces of pipe cleaner round the main sections to create antlers.
4. Glue on two eyes and a red pom-pom nose.
5. Glue ribbon on the back of polystyrene ball, if the glue doesn’t hold then try white tack or stapling.
6. Hang on the tree!
What do you think of this reindeer bauble?!
Head over to Hobbycraft for some fantatsic crafting supplies.

They look fab and so simple. We have some polystyrene balls, might have to give this a try, I love them.

These look great and easy enough for little fingers to make. We don’t have the polystyrene balls… but its a good excuse to stock up on them 🙂

These are amazing! I’ll be making something like this with Oscar in a few years time when he is a little bit bigger 🙂
