Time around here has been very short this past week (and for the next week to come!) so my next few posts will be quick, easy projects. Sometimes uncomplicated is good!!
I saw these Reindeer Candy Canes in Scrapbooks Etc. and thought they would be a fun project. I am working on creating a bunch for my son's class at school. (For those of you that are laughing at me, December will be here very soon!!) I think they would also be really cute as present toppers.
MATERIALS
Can't get a whole lot easier than that! I think they look cute so I am off to the store to pick up some more candy canes. Have a great night!

MATERIALS
- candy canes
- brown yarn
- google eyes
- small buttons or pompoms for the nose
- ribbon
- bells
- glue
- Put two candy canes together and wrap them up with the yarn. I made them a little thicker in the middle for those big reindeer tummies! Tuck the end in when you are finished.
- Tie a ribbon around the "neck" and add a bell.
- Glue on your eyes and nose.

Ohhh very cute idea and one that I am going to "borrow" from you..LOL!! Thank you for sharing and giving inspiration.
I'm so happy I found Skip to my Lou's blog yesterday and yes yes I know it was for the Monday hop but well my 8 year old wouldn't let me have the computer last night.

I think your reindeers are fabulous! Can't wait to try them with my kindergarten class... they might need a bit of help with the trimmings, but definitely worth a try! Thanks for sharing...
