For the third Christmas craft, I’ve selected something nice and simple. There are different ways you can create these candy canes eg using paper or pre-made eyes or pompoms so this is my take on making Rudolph.

You will need …

• candy canes

• brown & red yarn (you could replace yarn with coloured paper)

• stickers & black pen

• scissors & glue

How to …

• Lay out two candy canes so the curved parts are facing away from each other. Take the brown yarn and start wrapping around the canes to create the body of the reindeer. Once it has been wrapped tie off securely

• Make a red pom pom by wrapping yarn around a fork. Then take a length of red yarn and tie tightly in the middle of the fork. Trim the mini pompom to create Rudolph’s nose. Stick the nose in place on the brown body using glue.

• On the white stickers, draw eyes as shown in the picture. Cut out the eye shapes and stick them on the body above the nose. Use some extra glue if needed. You could you googly eyes in place of stickers.
