More Reindeer Games

Reindeer Tree Ornaments

These were always destined to become Tree Decorations, so here's a pic of some I've just finished.

Again, using the same pattern as the Reindeer Christmas Cup Cosy  but with a little red bow and jingle bell sewn on to the bottom of each head. 
Because the Antlers for these have to stand up to the tree branches, I decided to stiffened them this time, with a diluted PVA glue solution. 
If you plan on making a few Reindeer this season, crochet a pile of Antlers and stiffen them all together.
Here's how

Reindeer Christmas Cup Cosy

I thought I'd take a bit of a break from what I've been doing and share this little pattern, as Christmas is quickly approaching...                                                

 Reindeer Christmas Cup Cosy 


You might recognize Rex The Reindeer's head. It was just the right size for this little gift idea for teachers, workmates or just Reindeer lovers like me. Fill the cup or mug with chocolates or marshmallows, and include your favourite Hot Chocolate recipe to make it even more special.
