Reindeer Will Add Fun Touch To Holiday

This pull-apart reindeer is one of the cutest and easiest do-it-yourself holiday decorations you’ll ever find.

How easy? All of the reindeer’s six pieces are simply traced onto 1-inch pine using full-size patterns, cut out, sanded, stained or painted and assembled. All of the pieces interlock, so nails and glue aren’t necessary.

How cute? That’s up to you. After finishing the woodwork, it’s time to be creative. Add a red pompon nose, movable eyes and a colorful red or green bow around the neck. Or make up your own design.

The finished reindeer will look terrific under the tree, in front of the fireplace or near the front door. It measures 24 inches high by 11 inches long by 6 inches wide. When the holidays are over, pull the project apart into six compact pieces and store it flat with the rest of the holiday decorations.

The Pull-Apart Reindeer, No. 819, is $6.95 and includes complete step-by-step directions, full-size traceable patterns and a shopping list and cutting schedule.

A pull-apart Santa and Mrs. Claus plan, No. 862, is $7.95 and features the same technique as the reindeer. In addition, a catalog picturing hundreds of do-it-yourself projects is $3.95, and a free holiday brochure is available on request. Prices include postage and handling (for first-class mail, add $1 per item up to $3 maximum).
