What you need:
- a sheet of brown cardboard
- 2 markers: black and red
- 1 string
- scissors
- 1 paper perforator (or any tool to make a hole)
Ready? Go!
Draw

Draw the three main elements:
- the reindeer's snout
- the reindeer's belly
- the reindeer's backside with legs
Important: each element must have an upper part that stands out from the shapes (a small circle on top).
Cut

Cut out the three shapes.
Don't worry if you don't cut the shapes perfectly, imperfections make your work authentic!
Overlap

Overlap the three parts of the reindeer.
It is important to align the parts on top.
Hole

Create a hole using the perforator in the upper part.
(No animals were harmed during the making of this tutorial)
Final Touch

Put a string through the hole, make a small knot at the end.
Feel free to decorate the reindeer as you like.
Hang Up

Now your reindeer is ready to be hung wherever you want to create a happy atmosphere.
Using the same technique you could create other moving decorations: a bell, some elves or even Santa Claus.
Wish you all a happy holiday! <3
