Preparing the Reindeer Tie ornament

The first step is to cut the large end of the tie eight inches from the tip.

Next, fold back a few inches from the cut edge and remove two inches of the stiffener.

Then, cut a craft stick the width of the tie.

You can use hot glue to attach the craft stick to the back of the tie about two inches from the cut edge. You can make your Reindeer Tie ornament longer or shorter; this is how I made mine.

Then, fold down the cut edge by about one inch, fold it down again, and glue it.

DIY Reindeer Tie Felt Ears

To make ears, cut two ovals out of felt.

Next, pinch a tiny bit of one end of the felt to form your ears.

Then, glue the ears on either side of the back of the folded-down edge of the tie.

To create antlers, curl chenille stems around a pencil.

I love the reindeer ornament. Is there a chance you could send me a email of the instruction. Too large to download.

Thank you
