REINDEER NOSES TOPPER



all elements from Paulette at CREATE WITH TLC

LAYOUT and TEMPLATE by RhondaSue

Rudolph's nose is very bright
He helps guide Santa's sleigh
Without it in the dark night sky
They might not find their way.
So just in case dear Rudy's nose
Is Kaput and goes on the blink
We have these spare "red nose seeds"
To repair him in a wink!

MAGIC REINDEER FOOD Topper

Kids leave cookies and milk for Santa, but what about his reindeer?  Sprinkled on the lawn on Christmas Eve, Magic Reindeer Food leaves a glittering path--and a sweet snack--for Rudolph and friends.  An inexpensive stocking stuffer, Magic Reindeer Food makes a great classroom or Secret Santa gift.

Magic Reindeer Food Recipe

In a small zipper food storage bag or empty shaker container, mix:
  • 1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup red or green sugar crystals (as used for cake decorating)
[Note: many Internet recipes for Magic Reindeer Food call for craft glitter, which can harm birds or wildlife if ingested. For safety, substitute colored sugar crystals and be kind to animals!]

**I use 3x4 ziploc bags found in the craft department of Walmart.

The reindeer image on this printable was drawn and shared by Paulette.

BLOG INTRODUCTIONS


The Creative Design Team from her blog has been asked to create and contribute to this blog, so be sure to check back as often as you can for new inspirations.  Even though Christmas is months away, there are some folks that just plan ahead!  So, we hope you enjoy what we share and please be sure to leave some love for Paulette to show your appreciation for her generosity as well as all the Artists that create with her elements.

I create printables in my graphics programs; AND I have been "with Paulette" for MANY years so a lot of my printables may use elements that are not currently in her store or on her blog.  But, my FREE printables are not meant to give away her elements, but to share a completed project using some of her elements in a complete way.  I will not ever share single elements unless Paulette has asked me to post it.  Then it will be available for all.

Other Design Team members create many different things as you can see if you visit the link above as well as here at CREATING CHRISTMAS TREASURES WITH TLC.  Sometimes there might even be a tutorial to follow to create something yourself.
