3D Standing Reindeer

Suitable for:

Primary levels

Materials:

Cardboard Reindeer 3D, Metallic Zart Blocks, Glitter, Glitter Pom Poms 7mm, Craft Glue, Jo Sonja Metallic Bronze Paint, Rub and Buff Gold, Metallic Tinsel Stems & Liquid Glitter

How to Make a 3D Reindeer:

1. Press out each section of the reindeer from the A4 sheet.

2. Cover the body with small spirals of Craft Glue and allow to dry. When dry repeat this pattern on the other side. This may take two lessons allowing the glue to dry before attempting the other side.

3. When both sides are dry, paint each section with bronze paint. Allow one side to dry and paint the other side.

4. Use a soft cloth to rub a small drop of gold Rub and Buff over both sides of the body.

5. Decorate the legs and antlers with Liquid Glitter. The antler ends may be brushed with PVA and dipped into gold Glitter.

6. Cut and tie a small length of Metallic Tinsel Stem around the neck of the reindeer.

7. Assemble the reindeer by attaching the legs to the body guiding the slots into the corresponding slots. Attach the tail and antlers in the same method.

8. Position the legs so that the reindeer is free standing.
