Our family always gets very excited about Christmas right around the time Thanksgiving rolls around. Christmas music starts playing, our house is decked with Christmas lights, our Christmas tree goes up, and we start making homemade Christmas gifts.
My friend Asia Grace and I made these adorable little 'Rootbeer Reindeer.' I got the idea for them from this tutorial video on Youtube.
Supplies:
IBC Rootbeers (any brand of rootbeers will work, as long as they don't have any labels on them)
Brown Pipe Cleaners
Small Googly Eyes
Christmas Ribbon
Glue Gun
Step 1: Wrap a brown pipe cleaner around the neck of the bottle. Twist to secure.
Step 2: Make a little bend on one of the pipe cleaner ends. Twist the rest of the pipe cleaner around it to secure. Make a bend in the pipe cleaner a little further up and twist. Make a bend with the rest of the pipe cleaner. Repeat with the other pipe cleaner end.
Step 3: Glue the googly eyes on the neck of the bottle.
Step 4: Add a mini red pom-pom for the nose.
Step 5: Tie some holiday ribbon around the bottle. Hole punch a holiday gift tag. Loop it through the ribbon. Make two knots to secure.
(A twist on the regular rootbeer :) )
Happy Holidays!
