Have Fun Making A Reindeer Noses Mason Jar

Our love of Santa's reindeer and reindeer crafts, knows no bounds. We even love those cute reindeer noses! We've shared many reindeer crafts for Christmas - toilet roll reindeer, gingerbread reindeer, roll a reindeer game and more. This time around we've created a fun reindeer noses mason jar - yep, a reindeer mason jar filled with noses!reindeer jar noses in a jar reindeer craft for kids

These reindeer jars filled with noses makes a fantastic Christmas teacher gift or gift for the kids' classmates. I'm always looking for creative ways to use mason jars, they are an inexpensive container to use and the best part is they are reusable. So, when the chocolate reindeer noses are all eaten, the jar can be used again and again.

How to Make a Reindeer Jar filled with Reindeer Noses

Once the jar is clean it is time to paint a brown stripe around the jar. It will take 2 or three coats of paint to get the thickness of paint you like. Let the paint dry between each layer of paint.

Bend the pipe cleaners upwards, to make two antlers. Trim 1 inch off each end of the pipe cleaner. Wrap those 1 inch pieces around the ends of the pipe cleaner making the antler points. You can use the tape to secure the antlers to the lid, but you may have to adjust them, depending on which direction they are facing with the lid is on the jar.

We decided that our reindeer jars would be Rudolph (with his red nose), but use a black pom pom and you have any other reindeer on Santa's team.

chocolate malt balls and red pom pomsWhen the reindeer face is complete, it's time to add the candy. Mix the red gum balls with the chocolates in a bowl and scoop them into the jar. I used round chocolate malt balls, but you could use any round chocolate you can find. Or, I guess you could use brown gum balls...although I don't think I've ever seen a brown gum ball? Have you?
