Rudolph Juice Box

One of my very good friends daughter had her birthday this week – she is sharing a party with another girl in the year in a week or two, and unlucky for her its also the night of the school carol concert.  She lives too far away from school to have a few friends home, and get back in time for the party, so her mum and I organised a little party tea at my house last night to make sure her actual birthday wasn’t overlooked.   Abbi and I made a reindeer juice box for each of the girls.

First make the antlers. Trim 2 pieces off each pipe cleaner about an inch long each.  Bend the pipe cleaner in half, and twist the smaller pieces around each of the ends.

Next wrap the juice boxes in brown packaging tape. Don’t forget to remove the straws.  Use the last couple of rounds of packing tape to secure the antlers on the rear of the rudolph juice box. Finally glue on the googly eyes and red pom pom.

Add a spattering of 9 year old girls.

 A lovely thank you note the next day from the birthday girl, makes things like this feel worthwhile.
