Candy Cane Reindeer Ornament

Make ornaments or decorations using an assortment of candies — a train, a race car, a plane, or a reindeer. These can be hung on trees, tied to packages, or used as decorations on a table.

Young children will need supervision with the low temp hot glue gun, but it works a lot better than craft glue.

  • Low temp hot glue gun
  • Ribbons or yarn for hanging
  • 1 wrapped candy cane (this has to be wrapped around the candy, not a 'bagged' candycane
  • 1 little pom-pom for the nose
  • 2 little wiggle eyes (or paper eyes drawn and cut out)
  • Brown pipe cleaners for the antlers

How To Make It

  1. Look at the illustration — make antlers out of pipecleaners, wrap them around the candycane on the curve and glue them.
  2. Add two wiggle eyes and a pom-pom nose.
  3. You're done!
