You can make lots of great Christmas crafts from paper plates – they’re great for making Christmas trees and, as you’ll see in this tutorial, for making cute reindeer.

Add a red nose to make Rudolph the reindeer or keep the nose brown for a normal looking reindeer. We used paper for the reindeer noses but pom poms would look pretty too.

How to make a reindeer paper plate craft

What you need:

  • paper plate
  • brown construction paper
  • white paper
  • black marker
  • red paper
  • drag
  • glue
  • brown paint

Step by step instructions

Start by painting a paper plate brown.

If this is a classroom project, first cut out paper plates and have the children color the triangles.

Cut the paper plate in half.

Cut it in half again.

Next cut out a red (or brown) circle. You can also use a hole punch to do this.

Cut two circles out of white paper.

Glue white circles to paper plates.

Draw eyes inside the white circles with a black marker.

Cut gauze out of brown cardstock.
