Washcloth Reindeer -TerryGami

     Washcloth Reindeer

TerryGami, 15 Cloth Toy and Ornament Projects for Crafters, Teachers, and Children

The book is now available in paperback!
The book is available at: 



There are a lot of facts about reindeer and I list a few in the book to help leaders facilitate their group meetings.  Did you know that reindeer have broad hooves that spread out to help them walk in deep snow?  In some parts of Russia, the reindeer was domesticated and provided food, milk, and transportation.

The dimensions of the TerryGami washcloth reindeer can vary depending on the size of the washcloth.  The usual 12” x 12” cloth yields a 6” x 8” reindeer.  You can always cut down the cloth if you want a smaller reindeer, especially if you want a smaller ornament.  The reindeer can also be used as a boo boo reindeer; just place an ice cube between the rolls of the chin. 

The colors, of course, can vary, too, so experiment.  A red and white reindeer or a red and green one may match your décor, if you are decorating a tree.  Kids love to mix and match colors, so if you have a colorful variety of cloths, let them decide.  Be creative with the facial features.  I went with hearts for the eyes and nose, but you may have a much better idea! 

 Happy Crafting!
