Chances are your kids know the lyrics to this popular Christmas song by heart:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

RUDOLPH REINDEER PHOTO ORNAMENTS – MATERIALS:
(Get the easy printable card with materials and instructions for how to make these down below)
- Paper lids (the kind from to-go food containers, but you can also use a piece of round cardboard in a pinch)
- Brown paint, paint brushes
- Brown and light brown cardstock
- Pipe cleaners (browns, glittery gold, glittery red)
- Tiny pom poms
- Small red pom poms
- Photo of your child (at least 4″ square)
- Twine
- Strong tape (we used packing tape)
- Hot glue gun
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1. Paint your lid brown and allow to dry
Step 2. Print out a photo of your child’s face, 4 x 4 inch square will do. Use the lid to trace and cut your photo into a circle, trim to fit in the lid. Glue photo to the lid.
Step 2. Twist your pipe cleaners with something round and then hot glue them to the back of the lid to make antlers. Hot glue mini pom poms as light.
Step 3. Cut two large ears and two small inner ears from your brown papers. Glue the inner to the outside ears and hot glue the ears to the lid.
Step 4. Add your twine to the back by either taping it or hot gluing it.
