Follow the step-by-step instructions

Paint the paper plate with brown paint.

Fold in half to cut straight.

Cut the paper plate in half.

Fold into a cone. Unfold and glue one end.

Fold back into a cone again.

Hold firmly to let the glue set (I used clothespins to hold it in place so I could move on to the next step). Older kids can use a stapler.

Glue two bulging eyes and a red cotton ball for a nose.

Cut deer antlers out of brown cardstock.

Glue antlers to your crepe paper plate reindeer.
