How to Make Charming Log Reindeer for Your Winter YardIf you’ve ever wished your yard could host Santa’s helpers, this DIY reindeer project gets you close.

With just a few logs, some sticks, and googly eyes, you can create a duo that looks ready to prance across the driveway.

Kids will adore them, neighbors will stop for a smile, and you’ll feel like you’ve given winter a playful nod.

You can think of it as a woodland cartoon coming to life right outside your door.

Materials Needed

  • 1 medium log (18-20” length, 5-6” diameter)
  • 1 smaller log (8-10” length, 3-4” diameter)
  • 8 sturdy sticks (12-15” each)
  • 2 shorter sticks (6-8”)
  • 2 branched sticks (10-12”)
  • Googly eyes (2 per reindeer)
  • Wood glue or small nails/screws
  • Drill with a bit slightly smaller than the stick diameter
  • Optional: red felt or pom-pom for the nose, scarves, or ribbon

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Start with the body log. Then place it horizontally and drill four holes at an angle on the underside for legs.

Step 2: Insert sticks for legs and secure with glue or nails. Make sure they’re even so your reindeer stands steadily.

Step 3: Drill a hole at one end of the body log to attach the head. You can fit the smaller log vertically or at a slight tilt.

Step 4: Add antlers and ears by drilling small holes at the top and sides of the head log. Then insert sticks securely.

Step 5: Glue on googly eyes and a red pom-pom nose for personality.

Step 6: Finish by wrapping a scarf or ribbon around the neck to give your reindeer holiday charm.
