Tips for Making a Reindeer Candy Holder

• Because there are hardly any small areas to cut, a standard pair of craft scissors are perfect for this project. For the little hands in the group, a grown-up may need to cut more intricate pieces like the ears and antlers.
• A craft glue stick is best for this project, but you are welcome to use white school glue if that is what you have. Use a small amount of glue to avoid seepage. Allow extra drying time.
• If you don’t have any construction paper, look in the craft supplies for some colored medium card stock or craft foam. Those materials would work quite well for this paper craft for kids, too. Foam glue is available at all craft stores.
