Here’s a fun & sim­ple lit­tle project from illus­tra­tor Estéfi Machado for the kids to enjoy this hol­i­day sea­son. All you need to make this cute lit­tle rein­deer is a cup, a paper straw, and red card stock.

What You Need

• Paper cup
• Two paper straws
• Red card stock (for the ears)
• Scis­sors
• Glue
• Black per­ma­nent marker

Step 1: Cre­ate The Antlers

Cut each paper straw into four parts: 1 large, 1 medium, and 2 small (as pic­tured). Make diag­o­nal cuts, as this will make the antlers eas­ier to assemble.

Step 2: Assem­ble & Attach

Using either a hot glue gun or instant glue, assem­ble the antlers and then attach them to the side of the cup. Cut the ears using red card stock and attach to the cup as well, just under­neath the antlers.

Step 3: Make A Face

Using a black per­ma­nent marker, draw a face for your rein­deer on the front of the cup. That’s it, enjoy your fes­tive lit­tle friend!
