How to Make Charming Log Reindeer for Your Winter Yard

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.
