The Cutest Candy Cane Reindeer Craft

By Jen

I love a cute Christmas craft project. In particular, I love a cute reindeer craft. I’ve shared many fun reindeer crafts and activities over the years and these cute candy cane reindeer are one of my all-time faves. Let’s see what you think.candy cane reindeer craft final image

When I was a little girl my mom would pull out the craft supplies at Christmas. We didn’t craft very often, so it was always memorable when we did. One fond memory I have is making candy cane reindeer. The traditional – pipe cleaner antlers, googly eyed, red nosed reindeer candy cane craft that we all made back in the ’80s. 

I gave one to all my classmates and they adorned the top of every gift we gave that year. Honestly, I still make those reindeer with my kids. Love them. However, this year I had a vision in my mind of how we could reinvent and upgrade the traditional candy cane Rudolph and his reindeer friends.

Cutest Ever Candy Cand Reindeer Craft

candy canes
cellophane tape
brown pipe cleaners
little red pompoms (black ones too, if you like)
hot glue gun
scissors
white card stock

The first step is to prepare the candy canes. Lay two candy canes side by side and secure them together with a piece of clear cellophane tape. Eventually, the tape will be hidden by the reindeer’s face. Next, wrap the brown pipe cleaner around the two “antlers”. You could skip the brown pipe cleaner step, but I thought that it really completed the look of the reindeer antlers.

I printed ours on card stock, but you could totally print them on regular printer paper. After printing them off, it’s time to cut out the little faces.
