Step 1: Glue two corks together with a slight overlap in the middle for the head and body, hold steady while the glue dries.
Step 2: Snap two twigs in half to create four legs (you can use some scissors to score a line in the twig first to help make it easier to snap).
Step 3: Glue four legs to the bottom of the body, hold them in place while the glue dries.
Step 4: Cut your pipe cleaner in half and shape to make two antlers, twist ends together to help keep the shape.

Step 6: Using a scrap of yarn, tie a bell around the reindeer’s neck.
Step 7: Cut 2-3cm of a pipe cleaner and fold it in half, glue to the back of body to create a tail.
Step 8: You can use this reindeer to decorate your tree by either having it sit on a branch with its legs either side of the branch to steady it, or you can cut approx. 20cm yarn and fold in half and glue the two ends to the top of the reindeer’s head between the antlers.
