Trying to make a cute reindeer (?

Well, since these holidays are quite important to me, I'm almost always looking for things to do. It's quite fun to create our own Christmas decorations, and this time I saw a video on TikTok that showed me how to make small decorations for the Christmas tree. There were different designs: snowmen, Santa Claus, candy canes, but I decided to make a reindeer. Why? Well, I don't know, I'd never made a reindeer before, and to be honest, it turned out a little strange, but at least I tried, haha. Anyway, I put it on my little tree, and I like it; it looks quite cute.

It's quite simple to do if you make a sketch first and then cut out all the parts separately. That's exactly what I did, starting with a circle I drew using a compass. Then I began drawing the eyes, nose, and other details of the reindeer. I cut everything out separately and then started transferring the templates to a sheet of foam. For the reindeer's face, we used skin-colored foam. Since I didn't have any, I took a pink one and painted it skin-colored with an acrylic marker. Then, using eyeshadow, I added shading to the edges of the circle..

I drew the other parts of the reindeer on brown glitter foam and the nose on red glitter foam, then cut them all out. After I had each piece, I assembled the reindeer little by little, gluing each part together with hot glue. I also glued a thick string to the back so we could hang our reindeer. To add more detail to the face, I wanted to add blush to the cheeks, so I used red eyeshadow. I drew the eyes with a black marker; I had actually made the eyes with black glitter foam, but I won't lie, it looked super creepy with those eyes, so I decided to paint them directly, and it turned out much better.

And as a final detail, the sparkles in the eyes, nose and cheeks couldn't be missing, a touch that brings any character to life.


The final result is very nice, although I feel that the reindeer's antlers get lost when I put it on the tree. Even so, I wanted to make more designs, but I didn't have time to continue today. Anyway, I hope you like it.
