As I sort through all I have to share, I will continue with my Christmas Idea series. One thing I am thankful for this year is Pinterest - such a great tool for organizing ideas that are image based. My Pinterest boards inspire me so. Today is a collection of reindeer ideas......
This first one was made by my dad and I have posted about him before here. Crafted from found fallen birch trees I love his rustic character standing guard in my yard.
This same concept has been crafted in many sizes and shapes to create reindeer of all different personalities. Here are a few by others.
This first one would be easier to craft because it is a much smaller version of the one above. A family of these would look great on a mantle.

Here is another tiny set but with added greens.

I love the personality of this guy. There is a wonderful tutorial if you follow the link to Pretty Ditty.

Great Reindeer. I really like it. Your page is very interesting. Greetings from me and the Czech Republic.
ReplyDeleteThank Iva, glad to have you visiting from the Czech Republic.
DeleteFantastic....I think the skinniest reindeer of all was my favourite. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe skinny one is my favorite as well. It has me looking at my branches again. a few of these around the house would add such personality!
