Easiest craft on the planet. And quick! I know because I didn't make it last night like I was supposed to (went to bed early...what!?!) and instead made it before school this morning. Literally took 5 minutes.
Phew! Because who wants to miss out on Crazy, Cute or Silly Christmas-themed Headwear Day at school?
Not this girl!
First, decide on your shape- I Googled images and just started cutting the felt. It was much too big to start so I kept cutting it down to the right size.
Then you'll need: 2 head shapes, 1-2 antlers, 2 googly eyes, red button or pom-pom, a cotton ball torn in half and pulled apart a bit, 1 jingle bell, ribbon of your choice, and a clip or barrette.
If you want more stable antlers, cut two and plan to glue together. But I
only had 5 minutes, people!
Hot glue the eyes and button nose on once face. (I would have used a pom-pom but couldn't find where I put them when I supposedly reorganized a few weeks ago. Sigh.)
Glue the antlers on the other head shape, place your fluff near the mouth, then dab glue dots all along the face edge- line things up carefully because you won't be able to redo anything.When the layers were set, I tied the ribbon through the bell and then hot glued it all to the head. Glue the head to the barrette or clip, and that's it!
So cute and easy! I think I will add blush to the cheeks (since she is Mrs. Rudolph) and a blanket stitch around the entire edge.
Gotta scoot... I'm getting my Teacher Cookie Platters ready, and my peppermint bark has staged a protest and is currently in quite dire straits. I think I let the chocolate layer set too long before adding the white layer, and when I break it into pieces, they both split apart into separate pieces. Ugh. Oh well. Still tastes yummy. =)

Gray chocolate is all the rage this year!
You heard it here first. ;)
