A Reindeer and Bear Candy Cane Ornament

 

A Reindeer and Bear Candy Cane Ornament 

Candy canes are sweet treats that are loved by many children and adults alike.  In a previous blog posting, https://papercraftetc.blogspot.com/2024/12/a-snowman-and-gingerbread-man-candy.html I made a gingerbread man and a snowman ornament.  In continuing that theme here, I made a reindeer and a bear ornament.

I  used 65 lb. cardstock and foil cardstock from Michaels and a four inch piece of ribbon as a hanger.

Here is the PDF if you would like to print and cut with scissors.

Bend all of the tabs of the body. Glue the two parts of the body together. Fold the ribbon in half and insert the ribbon in the center of the head. (I pulled the head apart at the top tab and added additional glue and then inserted the ribbon.). 

Glue on the embellishments. 

As an alternative to the glued on embellishments, it might be fun for a child to color on their own design.

Wait for the glue tabs to dry before inserting the candy canes.  I inserted the candy cane through the armhole. Gently expand the armhole and thread the candy cane through the hole.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!
