Ingredients
- 14-inch wire wreath form available at Dollar Tree
- Brown loop yarn I used Bernat Blanket-EZ yarn in Deep Taupe, available at Joann's, Michaels, or Walmart
- Large red ornament Dollar Tree
- Red sequin antler headband Dollar Tree
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Instructions
- Begin by securing the end of the brown loop yarn around the outer wire of the wreath form. Make a tight knot to ensure it's secure. You can add a dab of hot glue to help hold the knot in place as well.
- Wrap the yarn around the entire wreath form. Keep it tight as you go to create a full and fluffy wreath. The deep taupe yarn gives it a reindeer-like appearance. Secure the end of the yarn to the wire frame with a tight knot (and a dab of glue, if you'd like).
- Once you've wrapped the entire wreath form, it's time to add the reindeer's nose. Remove the top piece (the silver part) from the large red ornament. Apply hot glue to the top of the ornament, and carefully press it onto the yarn-wrapped wreath form. Hold it in place for about 30 seconds to ensure it's secure. Adjust the yarn around the nose to cover the glue completely.
- For the reindeer's antlers, carefully remove the red sequin antlers from the headband. Gently bend the antlers. Apply hot glue to the bottom section of each antler on both the front and back. Press them onto the yarn-wrapped wreath form where you want the antlers to be. Hold each antler in place for about 30 seconds to ensure they adhere securely. Adjust the yarn to cover the base of the antlers completely.
