Reindeer Ornaments

Hi my project today is two Christmas ornaments.

I made the first and thought that it was a kind of more adult ornament so decided to make an ornament for a child too.

Bringing in your files

First of all bring the reindeer file into studio.

Divide into colours to save time.

The Cut Pieces

I’ve used the Silhouette adhesive, texture cardstock for my project.

Because I didn’t have a dark brown I’ve used Pumpkin and Burnt orange for my main parts.

Face and nose

Concertina the two longest pieces and adhere together at each end.

Push down to make a circle.

Make up the nose by folding all the tabs and gluing.

This makes a hexagonal nose.

Now adhere the circular piece.

Smaller pieces

Ink each piece with a brown ink and adhere the ears and eyes.

I’ve added white highlights with a pen.

Finishing Touches

Add all the features including the antlers.

Thread a piece of string or ribbon through the holes and there you go a fun Rudolph ornament for your tree.

Bringing in the files

Bring in the files for the reindeer ornament.

Divide into colours and cut out the layers.

Making up the reindeer

For the reindeer the darker brown layer goes at the bottom and then the white one.

I’ve used a black vinyl for the antlers and nose as it was easier on my machine to cut out these tiny intricate pieces.

Adding glitter to the layers

To make the ornament really Christmassy I have added glitter to the layers and the snowflake which I cut out of a turquoise card.

Making the layers

To make up the ornament the blue circle goes first, then the snow layer, next the trees, then the deer and then the snowflake one.

I used 3D foam pads to lift the layers.

Add the made up deer and glittered snowflake.

Completed ornament

And here’s the completed ornament.

All you need to do is add string or ribbon so it can hang on your tree.

 

For the glittered ornament there are 3 different designs in the Silhouette store so you could even make all three a few times and string them together to make a Christmas banner.

I think the fun reindeer could be made by kids with the help of an adult as the concertina piece and nose are a bit tricky.

But again Rudolph could easily be made into a banner instead of a tree decoration.
