Reindeer Bell Ornament Craft

Make an Ornament that Looks Like a Reindeer

By , About.com Guide

Submitted by Darlene B. - Instructions to make a special reindeer bell. This makes a great Christmas tree ornament.

Materials Needed:

  • 3/4 or 1 Inch Brass Round Bell
  • 1/8 or 1/4 Inch Red Pom-Pom
  • 1 Brown Chenille Stem
  • 1 Small Red Bow
  • Gold Cord (8 Inches Long)
  • 2 - 1/8" Wiggle Eyes

Instructions:
Cut the brown chenille stem into 3 pieces. Take one chenille stem piece, twist another piece about 1" from the end then slip it through the loop on the bell, bending it upward and give it a twist (just once). Do the same to the other end with the last piece of chenille stem. These are the antlers.

Next, using hot glue, attach the eyes and the pom-pom nose to the front. Put the cord through the loop on the bell, knotting the end for the hanger. Glue the bow on at the base of the antlers and you're done.

This is a very quick and easy project, which does require a hot glue gun, therefore Adult Supervision is needed.
