DIY Reindeer Gift Bags...

...Today is AR's last day at the sitter's before Christmas. We're taking Ms. Pam's and the other kids' gifts today. Last week, I made reindeer gift bags for all the kids. It was super easy, cheap, and cute!

 

Supplies (this will make 8 bags)

8 Brown Paper Sacks

1/2 sheet of red construction paper

2 sheets of brown construction paper

Rubber Cement (or adhesive of your choice)

Black Marker

 

Step 1: Take brown paper sack and round out top.

Step 2: Fold bag in half and draw on eyes with black marker.

Step 3: Take the piece you cut off and cut two ears.

Step 4: Take red construction paper and make 8 circles for the nose.

Step 5: Take brown construction paper and make antlers, I freehanded mine.

Step 6: Glue it all in place!

 

Here's a picture of everything cut out before gluing on:

Finished product! So, I'm not a great eye drawer and all my reindeer look a little cross-eyed, but hey, it gives them personality! 

I put candy in the bags for the babysitter's kids who are in middle and high school. For the younger kids, I put a container of trail mix with all of AR's favorite snacks: pretzels, marshmallows, craisins and M&M's. She loves Ms. Pam and all the kids there so I'm sure she'll have a blast playing with them today! I hope I can burn off as much energy at home with her as they do there.
