This is a simple and quick reindeer candy cane I learned to make at school.

Supplies

You will need to get a candy cane, a pipe cleaner, 2 goggly eyes, a small pom pom, a glue gun, sellotape and a pencil.

Making Antlers

Get the pipe cleaner and pencil. Begin by twisting the pipe cleaner around the pencil. This can be a tight or wide twist. Carefully slide the pipe cleaner off the pencil.

From the middle of the pipe cleaner pull the coil straight about 3 fingers wide.

Get the candy cane and from the middle of the pipe cleaner twist it around the hook of the candy cane. Be careful not to pull the ends of the coil straight. The pipe cleaner should be tight on the candy cane, but you can also use sellotape to keep this in place.

Eyes and Nose

Heat up the hot glue gun and blob glue where you want the eyes and nose. These can be almost anywhere depending on how you want your reindeer to look.
