How To Make A Reindeer Card

Supplies

• Colored card stock or construction paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Reindeer card template (enter your email in the form at the end of this post to have the link emailed to you)

Directions

Download the reindeer card template, print, and cut out all of the pieces except for the reindeer head (the card base).

Take the reindeer head page and fold along the dashed lines. Cut out the reindeer head, but do not cut along the top, flat part of the head. This is the fold line of the card.

Place the eyes about 1.5″ from the bottom of the head and glue in the middle.

Next, place the mouth area on top of the card, overlapping the eyes a little. Glue in place.

Take the reindeer’s black or red nose and glue it just above the mouth line.

Glue the antlers to the top of the card, in the middle of the head.

Complete the reindeer’s ears by gluing the inner ear to the outer ear. Once the ears are finished, glue them to the back and side of the card.

*Make sure you leave enough space for the antlers to fit between the ears. If you don’t, the card won’t open properly.*

Open up and write a message.

Now your child has a cute, handmade card to give to someone special!
