Another Reindeer Matchbox Christmas Tree Decoration

Another reindeer Christmas tree decoration using a matchbox from a pack of 8 from The Works (£1) The matchbox measures 5cm x 3.5cm, just enough to put in a small chocolate or perhaps some Christmas money.

This time the reindeer head comes from Hobbycraft, and already came with the faux stitching would you believe.  All I have added was a red flat backed gem for his nose, two very small, black, domed stickers on the eyes, and a bit of a body in the background using a scrap of brown paper.  I have looked for a link on HobbyCraft, but can’t find them on their website, so they may no longer be available. They originally cost £2 for 6.

The Christmas sentiment down the side of the box is cut from a roll of Washi tape from Dovecrafts North Pole range (bought from The Works £2).

The matchbox is lined with the same paper as on the outside. 

I punched a hole in the top of the box and threaded through a hanger using striped red bakers twine and matching red wooden bead. A tiny amount of faux stitching using a black fine liner pen finishes off the box.
