Rudolph Reindeer Wine Cork Craft Ornament

Learn how to make a wine cork Rudolph reindeer ornament. This simple Christmas craft is a darling way to epicycle items you already have on hand. 

When I was little my mom had this amazing little Rudolph Reindeer Cork pin made out of a wine cork. I thought it was the cutest!

I figured it was high time to make my own. So I decided to make two versions one as a little holiday brooch like my mom had and one that could work as a cute little ornament.

Most of these like the reindeer ornament are simple enough that they would make for fun ladies make and takes, a great addition to a Christmas cookie exchange or a simple kids craft to keep the little ones busy.

I actually had all the supplies on hand from other random crafts and if you opted to use craft glue instead of a hot glue gun the kiddos could make this all on their own!

What You Need to Make Rudolph Ornaments

I’m linking the supplies with my Amazon links but you can probably find what you need for much less at your local craft store or dollar store.

How to Make A Cork Reindeer Ornament or Pin

1. Glue the pom pom and eyes on so they form the eyes and noes.
2. Cut a leave shape out of the fabric.
3. Fold the pipe cleaner in half and cut it. Set one half aside for another use. Fold the remaining piece in half and twist around the fabric to form ears and bend to for antlers.
4. Glue to the top of the cork.
5. Attach the pin to the back of the cork or ribbon to the top to form a hanging loop for an ornament.

SO easy right? I love this classic little Christmas craft and I thought it would be fun to finally do my own version!
