Reindeer Food Crafts to Make at Home!
If there’s one holiday tradition I adore, it’s making reindeer food crafts! There’s just something so magical about sprinkling a little treat for Santa’s furry helpers on Christmas Eve.
Whether you’re crafting with the kids or whipping up a festive gift for friends, these easy and creative ideas are always a hit.
I personally love how reindeer food adds an extra sprinkle of holiday magic to the season—it’s such a simple yet heartfelt way to spread cheer! Plus, it’s a fun excuse to get crafty (and maybe a little glittery).
I have tons of creative Christmas ideas if you are looking for more crafty and holiday party ideas!
In this article, I’ll share some of my favorite ways to package and present your reindeer food, along with other reindeer-themed crafts and tasty Christmas food ideas you’ll love.
How to Package and Present Your Reindeer Food with Style
Making reindeer food is already magical, but the real fun starts when it’s time to package it up! Trust me, there’s nothing like handing out adorable little bags of holiday cheer and watching people’s faces light up.
Deck the Bags with Glitter and Cheer
Start with some clear treat bags and go wild with festive ribbons, glittery twine, or even those tiny jingle bells (because nothing screams “Christmas!” like a little jingling).
If you’re like me and can’t resist a pun, slap on a label that says “Reindeer Treats – Fuel for Santa’s Crew.” Bonus points if you add a pinch of edible glitter for extra sparkle—it’s like giving the North Pole a makeover.
Jar Your Joy
Want to step it up? Mason jars are your best friend. Layer the reindeer food inside for a cute, snow globe effect, and top it off with a fabric lid covered in plaid or reindeer prints. Honestly, it’s so cute you’ll almost not want to give it away (but hey, reindeer don’t eat jars).
Personalized Touches for the Win!
Add a handwritten note or a little poem—trust me, it’s the kind of thing people will remember. Something like: “Sprinkle on the lawn at night, the moon will make it sparkle bright. Santa’s reindeer fly and roam, guided to your happy home.”
It’s cheesy, it’s heartfelt, and it works every time!
Other Reindeer-Themed Crafts to Try
Once you’ve mastered reindeer food, it’s time to dive into more reindeer-inspired fun. Because let’s be real—there’s no such thing as too many reindeer crafts during the holidays!
Rudolph Ornaments: Cute and Easy
Grab some brown pom-poms, googly eyes, and red beads, and you’ve got the makings of adorable Rudolph ornaments. Hang them on the tree or attach them to gifts for a playful touch. My favorite part? Watching everyone try to figure out how you made them so cute.
Reindeer Holiday Cards: A Personal Touch
Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a handmade card, and reindeer designs are as festive as it gets. Cut out antlers from brown paper, glue on a red pom-pom nose, and you’ve got an instant Rudolph. Write a silly message inside—something like, “Hope your holiday is as bright as Rudolph’s nose!” People love it, trust me.
DIY Reindeer Headbands: Because Why Not?
For a craft you can actually wear, make reindeer headbands with antlers out of felt and a red pom-pom for your nose. I once made these for a party, and let’s just say they were a hit—because nothing bonds people faster than looking equally ridiculous.
Reindeer-themed crafts are not only easy and fun but also a guaranteed way to spread holiday cheer. Now, grab your glue gun and get crafting—it’s time to make Rudolph proud!
