Make Your Own Cardboard Reindeer

This is a fun little project for Christmas.

All you need is an A4/Letter sized bit of card and something that can cut it, a twig for the antlers, and something to stick it all together. I used 5mm corrugated cardboard, a craft knife, a hawthorn twig, and double sided tape.

Printable A4/Letter PDF.

Print out PDF above, stick it lightly to your card, then cut around the shapes with a craft knife/scalpel/scissors. Then use your adhesive to assemble it like so:

Find a twig that you think will make a good set of antlers, and poke it between the head pieces into the cardboard of the neck.

That's all there is to it! Please try it and let me know how you get on, message me or use the hashtag oldforgecreations (I often miss @mentions on Instagram and there's no way to find them afterwards, but I'll see the tag). Good luck!
