We have a countdown to Christmas calendar and we are at 5 days until Christmas. The excitement at the George house is at an epic level! We took some time out from our busy holiday schedule to create this adorable burlap reindeer couple using foam cones. Winter break is just about here, so take some time with your kids and create this cute Christmas decor item!

I have to tell you a little back story about this project. So my boys and I made the buck while my daughter was gone to her Grandma’s house to help put up her Christmas village. You should have seen how mad she was when she came home and saw what I made with her brothers. We had to get right to making another burlap reindeer and this one had to be a girl. So the girl ended up being taller than the boy because I hadn’t planned on creating her and I ran out of the smaller size cones.
