Christmas Crafts


  1. Paper Mache Reindeer



    You will need:

    • 10 newspapers
    • Water base Paint
    • Brushes
    • Buttons
    • Pipecleaner
    • Small Pom Pom
    • Masking Tape
    • Glue
    • Sealer


    Directions:

    1. Tear the newspapers into small strips.

    2. Immerse the strips completely in a medium sized container with 3/4 parts glue & 1/4 parts water. Rub them together to prepare a paper mache paste.

    3. Use one whole paper towel roll to form the back of the reindeer. Cut one whole paper towel roll into four pieces of equal size. These four parts will make the front and the hind legs of your reindeer.

    4. Use glue to attach the legs to the lower surface of the reindeer. Hold them together with masking tape. All the legs must stand evenly on the table.

    5. Cut the "neck" and "head" of the reindeer out of the remaining paper towel roll. Make a hole in the paper roll that forms the back of the reindeer. Insert the "neck" into the hole. Make a similar hole in the "neck" to put in the "head" of the reindeer. Use masking tape to hold these in place.

    6. The rough structure of your reindeer is ready. Now cover it with the paper mache paste. See that no area of its surface remains exposed. Use your hands to mold the shape well so that it resembles a reindeer.

    7. Let the paper paste dry for several hours or overnight.

    8. When it dries, paint the reindeer in any color you like. Allow the paint to dry.

    9. Now glue the buttons in place of eyes. Attach the pom pom for the nose. Make a small hole in the "head" of the reindeer. Set the pipecleaner through it to make the antlers.

    10. Your Paper Mache Reindeer craft is ready. You can present it as a Christmas gift to anyone you like.
