Place the pink cheeks on either side of the muzzle and glue in place.

Glue the antlers on top of the reindeer’s head, one on each side.

Use glue, tape, glue dots or a stapler to secure the headband extensions on either side of the completed reindeer head. Place the rectangles so the bottom lines up with the bottom of the reindeer head.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

In our house, we love the classic Christmas movies. Shows like Frosty the Snowman, the original Grinch, and of course Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer!

While almost every child know Rudolph, so many kids today have never actually seen the classic movie.

Although there are certain things in the movie that are outdated, it has great messages of persevering through your challenges, using your uniqueness as a benefit and forgiving others!

And of course, classic songs like We Are Santa Elves.

When Does Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Air in 2019?

If you’ve never seen Rudolph or you love watching it live each year, be sure you put the air times in your phone so you can watch as a family!

It would be a great family night to make this reindeer headband craft and then watch Rudolph together with some hot chocolate and popcorn.

    This is such a cute and easy craft. Thank you for the Template and Tutorial. I have it saved to my ‘Kids Crafts’ Board. The Reindeer Headband would be lovely for children to wear on Christmas Day instead of the paper crown hats that come in Christmas Crackers, as they are cuter and can be made to fit the child’s head, sometimes the paper crown hats are too big for kids and keep slipping off their heads. As you said they could be worn any time around Christmas especially when watching a Christmas movie or taking family photographs. An idea would be to personalise each headband with each Family members name along the side of the headband. Merry Christmas from Ireland xxx

      Hi Diana! I checked my email system and the reason you didn’t receive anything is that it says you haven’t confirmed that you want to receive the emails. If you can find the first email from me (sam@simpleeverydaymom.com) and click the link in it, everything will proceed in order. Please let me know if you run into any more troubles!
