  • Acrylic Craft Paint – Dark Brown Kelly Green, Pink, Yellow
  • Natural Jute Twine
  • 2 Googly Eyes
  • 1 Large Red Tinsel Pom Pom
  • 2 Brown Pipe Cleaners Chenille Stems

Instructions
 

  • Basecoat the rim of the clay pot with kelly green acrylic craft paint. Let the paint dry and then apply a second coat, if necessary.


    Painting Pot Rim Green
  • Basecoat the remaining section of the clay pot with dark brown acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry. Apply a second coat, if necessary.


    Painting Rest of Pot Brown
  • Attach two googly eyes and the red tinsel pom pom to the reindeer with a glue gun and glue sticks. Add polka dot cheeks to the Reindeer by dipping a new pencil eraser into pink acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry.


    Add Face to Clay Pot
  • Create polka dots around the kelly green rim by dipping a new pencil eraser into bright yellow acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry.


  • Bend both brown pipe cleaners into antler shapes and insert them into the hole at the top of the clay pot. Secure from the inside with a glue gun and glue sticks.


    Adding Pipe Cleaner Antlers
  • Cut two ear shapes from a scrap of brown felt then fold them in half and glue them to the top right and top left of the reindeer.


    Adding Felt Ears & Twine Loop
  • Cut a 12"/30cm length of natural jute twine, tie it in a loop with a knot, and attach it to the top of the clay pot reindeer with a glue gun and glue sticks.
  • When dry, create jingle bells from the yellow polka dots by drawing a small plus sign in the center of each with a permanent black marker.
