7. Next, paint the antlers and ears of the reindeer with brown color. Don’t paint its whole ear instead leave some empty space around the edges and outline them using a black sharpie as shown.

8. Paste the antlers just under the cap and reindeer’s ears below the horns.

9. To complete the reindeer, paint the nose brown and paste it near the flat side of the mouth as shown.

We had run out of red paint, so we decided to go with brown paint. But if you wish to make Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, use red colour to paint the nose. You can even use a big red pom-pom to make the characteristic red nose of Rudolph the reindeer.

10. Paste the mouth below the ears to complete the face of the reindeer.

11.Next, paste a pair of googly eyes and draw a smile using a black sharpie to complete the face.

12. Lastly, paste the parts of scarf as shown and attach them to the body of the reindeer to complete this simple craft. You can even use two pipe cleaners wound together or a red ribbon to make the scarf.
