Reindeers of cork

One of favorite figure of Christmas is reindeer Ruldolph. So in honor of him, we propose an easy and entertaining decor to do it by yourself with children. Besides, this decor will help you to place each guest on the table at the Christmas Eve dinner or Christmas Day meal. You can also use them to decorate the nativity. 

The materials you need are the following (per reindeer):

• 2 corks
• 5 toothpicks
• 2 movable eyes
• 1 red thumbtack
• tree twigs
• felt paper
• foamy/cardboard
• glue

The steps to make it are the following:

1. To make the head, cut one of the corks longer than half (approx. 2/3) and glue it to the other cork.
2. Then, paste with glue the movable eyes and twigs of the tree and put the red thumbtack to the head.
3. Cut a bit of felt paper to make the blanket and glue it to the cork.
4. To make the reindeer legs, cut four toothpicks to a length greater than half (approx. 2/3) and stick them into the cork.
5. Finally, to make the marker, cut a rectangle of foam board or cardboard and write the name of the guest. Glue it to the toothpick and stick it into the cork.

To make the reindeer's blanket and the marker, we have used the color red and green, typical Christmas colors.

Everybody on the table!
