Walnut Crafts – Reindeer Ornament

December 10, 2018

Some of you may know that I love crafting with Walnuts and are always coming up with new Walnut DIYs. Like Horse Chestnuts, I have strong childhood memories of Autumn and Winter Crafts involving both Chestnuts and Walnuts. So both these items, though not necessarily common to others are items that I love crafting with, with my kids. Each year, I try and come up with a new Walnut Craft idea… and this year, we have this adorable little Rudolph Christmas Ornament – what do you think? My kids are quite excited about hanging these Reindeer Ornaments on our tree this year!

Check out our other Walnut Crafts here – I particularly like the Walnut Owls and Walnut Cradles.

Update: we have since made some cute little  Winter Bear Walnut Ornaments too. Take a peak!

Cute Reindeer Ornament - Walnut CraftsThese Reindeer Walnut Ornaments were first shared in Dec 2014 and have been republished and updated for your convenience.

This wonderful Reindeer Ornament is also included in our practical, easy to download and print out Christmas Ornament Book. Each craft is shared on one page – making the perfect worksheet print outs. Lovely to have them all in one place too!

Walnut Reindeer Ornament How To:

How to split a walnut

 

Walnut Crafts - Reindeer Ornament

 

1) First you need to split your walnut – the best way to split you walnuts in half is show in this video! (Whilst there, why not like my youtube channel?!) Doesn’t that walnut simply look perfect? LOVE that little Walnut Heart!

2) Clear out your walnut (and eat it! Nice and healthy).

3) Cut some Reindeer Antlers out. I actually did mine free hand… I have had a lot of practice, but draw some out first and use that as  a template.

4) Lots of PVA glue to the rim of your walnut. Position your antlers and hanging string.

5) Bring your walnut halves together and hold tight. Smooth down any excess glue with your finger.

6) Glue on your pom pom noses. And draw on your eyes. Googly eyes would look fun too!

7) Your Reindeer Ornaments are now finished!! What do you think? Will you give this Walnut Craft a go?!

We have another super cute Reindeer Ornament here. This time with googly eyes and made from corks!

    This is too cute and quick! Love it! I have pinned it on my Advent calendar board. We happen to have walnuts at home, might be a little project for this afternoon.

      Aww you are too kind!! I find the “more I do, the more ideas I have”… I bet you have JUST as many ideas, just not as much time as me to get crafty and let them come to you….. hope you get to make some Reindeer Walnuts!

    Oh these are so sweet! I love using walnuts in crafts as well. We go to a Waldorf school once a week and we have made little walnut boats for felt gnomes, and walnut shell candles – I think we will have to add these cuties to our walnut craft collection!

    oh I want to make these even though we have so many ornaments – I think we still have walnuts leftover from the time we made walnut babies from your site
