And while you’re crafting, don’t forget to explore our home improvement collection for all your DIY project needs.

Cutting the Felt Decoration

Start by carefully cutting the reindeer shape out of cardboard using sturdy scissors. Use a white pencil to trace the template onto a piece of brown felt that is a couple of millimeters thick. Then, using tailor’s scissors, cut out the felt shape, ensuring clean, sharp edges. For precision work like this, a good set of tools from our garden supplies (great for sturdy scissors and cutting mats) can make all the difference.

Red Bow and Festive Touches

Prepare the bow by folding a red decorative ribbon several times over itself, crossing the loops. Tie the bow in the center with a thin, slightly darker red satin ribbon. Use a glue gun to apply a drop of hot glue behind the bow. Attach the bow to the reindeer shape at the neck area, pressing gently for a few seconds. A reliable glue gun is a staple in any home improvement toolkit.

Final Details

Finish the project by gluing holly leaves, acorns, a felt flower, and a few cinnamon sticks to the center of the bow with hot glue. The cinnamon will release a delicate, festive aroma. Use a black marker to write “Welcome” on a small cork heart, then glue it to one of the bow’s pendants. This decoration pairs beautifully with other seasonal items, like those found in our wall decor and outdoor decor collections.
