December is that month when reindeer finally get their moment in the spotlight! They are in charge of getting Santa Claus to where he needs to be, so we basically owe all of our gifts to the Reindeer Express. In honor of these magical animals and the spirit of Christmas, here are some adorable reindeer crafts! You can finally make your very own Dasher, Dancer and Prancer … but mostly Rudolph!
Wine corks have proven to be such a handy craft material! Just look at this cute little wine cork reindeer by Dannon K Collard! It immediately makes you feel less guilty about all those bottles of wine, doesn’t it? Don’t worry, you’re still on Santa’s nice list!

Okay, we know they look like bunnies, please don’t hold it against us. Their red noses clearly indicate that they are ready to lead Santa’s sleigh through the dark night, so … it’s an argument good enough for us!

Sometimes the cutest projects are the simplest. Looking at this candy cane reindeer – can you deny it? It is so simple and so adorable, it’s bound to be a hit at any Christmas table setting!

What are our book loving followers reading this holiday season? Whatever it is, we’re sure it needs a special, seasonal bookmark! We found this one at Easy Peasy and Fun and thought it’s absolutely brilliant! How much do you want to bet you’ll keep using it all throughout the year?
If you like special and unique mugs, this craft is for you! It’s amazing what you can do when you sit down with a porcelain pen and a mug.

You can never have too many reindeer, as Santa would (probably) say!
