Dasher and Dancer: Reindeer Antler tutorial

Target is the best, specifically their dollar section. During the Christmas season I would usually scoop up for or five pairs of reindeer antlers from this section. Since they only cost a dollar or so I never worried if they were broken and I let the kiddos keep them in their dress ups year round, tossing them when they broke. Well this year I can’t just walk into the dollar section of Target and oddly enough (totally not odd ha!) there is no where to purchase funky christmas headbands so it was up to me to make them. While in Jakarta I purchased head bands for 15 cents each (yeah I know CRAZY cheap) and picked up some brown felt (which I then accidentally used to help make felt super hero eye masks, so we had to go back and get more ha!). I whipped out the glue gun and went to work. (I can upload the pattern I made for the antlers if there is interest)

First  cut out four antlers. Then I needed a long strip to cover the headband but I only had two medium strips….
 
I wanted to make sure the largest antler would stay straight up so I grabbed a cereal box and cut a smaller version of the antler on it. Then I hot glued it to one of the antlers


I did not glue it to the matching antler but you could if you feel like it will help make it studier.








Sawyer and Finn loved their antlers….


Evie not so much ha! I made the mistake of giving her the bribe BEFORE taking the picture, whoops. For hers I just added a big red bow with wired ribbon.

Hope your get a slew of reindeers in  your house!!
