Here's another quick, fun gift to make for the holidays. This is a great one for kids to help with. My kids helped wrap the kraft card stock, and they punched all the noses and tags and did all the glueing by themselves (just make sure to use a low-temperature glue gun or some other adhesive if they help glue… don't use the high-temp glue guns). We formed an assembly line and watched a movie while we worked. It was fun activity for us to do together. Here are some steps to help with the process:
- Measure your candy bar (we used Hershey's) and cut kraft card stock to fit around it. We just used Scotch tape on the back to keep the card stock in place.
- Use a circle punch to punch noses out of red card stock.
- Create a pattern for the antlers, trace as many as you need on brown card stock, and cut them out.
- Use a low-temp glue gun (or other adhesive… I just like how fast the hot glue dries) to adhere noses, goggly eyes (available at craft stores), and antlers.
- Use baker's twine (or other string or ribbon) to attach tag.
- Give to friends, family, teachers, neighbors, the postman, and whoever else deserves one of these cute Rudolph candy bars!
