Instructions for making a Newspaper Reindeer Craft:

1. Begin by painting a sheet of your newspaper with brown watercolors and small section of newspaper with red watercolors. The newspaper will be saturated but as it sits and dries it will crisp back up.

2. Use the reindeer craft pattern to cut out the different pieces for your reindeer. If you choose not to purchase the pattern you’ll need to cut out a half circle reindeer body and a reindeer head and ears from your brown painted newspaper. Cut out antlers and circle eyes from your unpainted newspaper. Lastly cut out a reindeer nose from your red painted newspaper.
