When I first saw this paper maché reindeer at Michael’s I picked it up not having any idea what I was going to do with it other than make it the centerpiece of our holiday decorations. Add in a little cabana stripe ribbon from Nashville Wraps, vintage gold paint, red glitter, and some pom pom trim and I was in business!
I thought good ol’ Rudy could use a little extra glitter so I made a quick rosette out of ruby red glitter paper and attached a piece of wood bunting painted in the matching gold and adorned with a vinyl decal I made with my Silhouette CAMEO.
And what dapper man, or deer, doesn’t look better with a bowtie. I made this one out of wired glitter ribbon, a twist tie, and some hot glue.
Rudolph would just be any reindeer walking down the street if it weren’t for his red nose. Using a q-tip I applied Mod Podge in a deer nose shape and covered it with bright red glitter. A great tip with glitter is to use a dry paint or makeup brush to remove excess glitter from areas around the glittered spot.
A-Freaking-Dorable.
Rudolph never looked so chic.
Happy Christmastime to you!!
Thank you Shannon! Same to you!
Love, love love Rudolph!! I already have so many boxes full of Christmas decor, but I think I need him in my life! Such a fun wreath idea! 🙂
He is totally worth adding another box to the decoration collection! Thank you!
Super cute idea!
Thank you!!
Love rudolf! I picked up that same reindeer head and sharing what I did with it this week! Love your version!!
I can’t wait to see Kristen! I am sure it’s beyond cute!!
This is sooo cute Stacy!! I need to go look for that reindeer head – it is so perfect for this wreath!
Thank you Bev! They’ve been selling out quickly – I may have bought 1 extra 🙂
I could not love that wreath much more! Definitely headed out to buy the reindeer head this weekend! Great work as usual! 🙂
Thank you Amy!!
i looked online at michaels.com to purchase the reindeer head and couldn’t find it. 🙁 any tips?
They are available online now…but you have to order a quantity of 3.
What did you use to attach the head to the wreath?
I couple dabs of hot glue!
I’m obsessed with the wreath. I’m on the hunt for my paper maché reindeer. 🙂 here’s my one dumb question– how did you attach it to the wreath?!
Hot glue!
I’m having a girls craft night with friends and we are making this!!! What brand is the paint you used?
What paint did you use for the reindeer head? Love that color!
It’s a Martha Stewart vintage gold that is no longer available. I purchased it at Home Depot, maybe they have something new?!?
Very cute! I’m going to attempt to make something similar. How did you attach the head to the wreath?
Good old hot glue!
Can you post a picture of how it looks when hanging….How did u hang it? on a hook or over the door?
