Imagine walking up to your porch and being greeted by Rudolph in planter form, antlers stretching proudly and his red nose glowing in the winter air.
The mix of evergreens, eucalyptus, and playful accents creates a planter that feels alive with Christmas spirit.
It’s more than just greenery, it’s a nod to holiday magic that will make kids and adults smile every time they pass by.
Materials Needed
- 1 large red planter (12”-14” diameter)
- Fresh or faux greenery mix (pine, cedar, and eucalyptus)
- 1 oversized red ornament (4”-5”)
- 1 pair of decorative reindeer antlers (plastic or wood, 10”-12” tall)
- 2 red craft foam or felt pieces (6” each)
- Floral foam or potting soil
- Pruners or scissors
Step-by-step Guide
Step 1: Fill your planter with potting soil or floral foam to anchor your greenery.
Step 2: Arrange the greenery so it overflows naturally, mixing textures like pine, cedar, and eucalyptus.
Step 3: Insert the red ornament into the center to serve as Rudolph’s iconic nose.
Step 4: Position the antlers securely in the back, angled slightly for balance.
Step 5: Add red felt or foam ears just below the antlers for a playful finishing touch.
Step 6: Finally, adjust and fluff the greenery until your reindeer looks lively and balanced.
Note:
If displaying outdoors, use weather-resistant antlers and secure the ornament nose with floral wire to keep everything in place.
