Front Porch Reindeer

Instructions

1. Set aside one rod to serve as the reindeer’s body. 
2. To begin the legs, take four rods and trim three 3” off each. Save the 3” peices for later use. Cut one ends of each leg at a 45-degree angle. Glue the angled ends to the sides of the body to form the legs. 
3. To form the neck and head, form another rod and cut a 3” pieces for the neck. Glue the bottom of the neck to the front of the body. Then glue one of the saved 3” pieces on top of the neck to form the head.   
4. Take another 3” pieces and cut one end at an angle and glue this angled end to the back of the body to create the tail.  
5. Use another 3” piece and cut that at an angle. From the angle, slice two thin ovals to form the ears and attach them to the top of the head. 
6. Insert the two frosted branches in front of the ears to serve as antlers. 
7. Glue the buttons onto the head for the eyes. 
8. Attach the red ornament to the tip of the head for the nose.  
9. Secure the bow to the front of the body.
