On a recent visit to Pinterest I saw some of the cutest Cork Reindeer Ornaments I have ever seen and I wanted to share a few of them with you to give you some new ideas for an adorable Christmas decoration.
These small reindeers are made from corks. The eyes are made withย glass pins. Antlers and tails are made with pipe cleaners and depending on which design you choose, some of the legs are made with cork and others with pipe cleaners. You can decorate them with bells and bows to complete the reindeer.
These little cork reindeer ornaments are easy to make and would make cute gifts and stocking stuffers.
How do you cut the corks if you want them halved or shorter?
I used a very sharp exacto knife ๐
Also if u boil them for about 10 mins.makes them easy to work with.
I cut mine on a band saw with a jig my son made.
Soak them in boiling water until they’re soft enough to cut.
Where do you purchase the curly cue things that the antlers are made of?
Most craft stores carry them.
I looked at Michaels, Joann and hobby lobby, they don’t carry them. Suggestions?
Where do you find the cute curlies for the antlers?
Most craft stores carry them. Try doing a google search for them ๐
can you tell me how you made the small rain deer?
I did not personally make these, I shared some photos of reindeer crafts I thought my viewers would enjoy.
where do you get the glitter wire?
Most craft stores carry it, try doing a google search to find stores that carry it.
Where do you purchase curly antler decorations?
Most craft stores carry it, I have also seen the glitter wire without curls and would need to be curled to create the effect.
Where did you get the glitter wire used for the antlers?
Most craft supply stores carry it. I got mine at hobby lobby ๐
Curly things are pipe cleaners.
They are not pipe cleaners as pipe cleaners are ticker and do not have a flat surface. I was able to do everything but the antler last year. One thing I did see was a product called lazer wire that looked the closest but the vendor never had it in stock.
Where can I find the red glitter nose?
I found mine at Michaels craft store.. they are actually flat glitter buttons.. you can also use little glitter pom poms too ๐
What type of hook is used to connect the ribbon to hang it as an ornament?
I use little eye hooks that screw into the cork ๐
What glue did you use
Any type of craft glue will work. If you want quick dry, you can also use super glue.
