Christmas is just around the corner and to ease off some of the holiday madness, save yourself some bucks by making these festive DIY’s.

Candy Cane Reindeer

These cute reindeer made out of candy canes can serve many decorative purposes and are quick and easy to make. They can be a great addition to a present, be hung as ornaments on your Christmas tree or nicely placed  in a cup as a centerpiece.

Small googly eyes

Pipe cleaner

Craft pom-poms

4. Place googly eyes slightly above the nose and glue down.
