Welcome everyone. My name is Jessica and this is Simple Cheap and Easy DIYs.
I'm going to start our plait done using the tip of the bottom here and this is where we're going
to place the legs. For the legs, I'm just going to use these wooden dowels and I'm going to be
using four for each of the reindeer. Once I have those in place and placed how I like them and
make sure that they're even, I'm just going to apply hot glue to make sure that they do hold
in place. If you have all the legs glued in place, I'm going to apply hot glue to the bottom of the
dowel, which is the neck of the reindeer, and place that in that top hole and then just you
can position the head however you would like. Once I have that done, then that portion's completed
and I'm going to repeat that on both bottles. And on one of the reindeers, I put his head straight
and the other on an angle, but after that's done, I'm going to take this Rust-Oleum white spray
paint and I'm going to give both of the reindeer a coat of spray paint and then once that's fully
dry, we'll move on to the next step. Next, I'm going to be using these white branches that I got at Walmart,
but Dollar Tree does have some similar and I'm just going to be using four of the little pieces
and that's what we're going to use for the reindeer's antlers. Now, taking some foam board, I did draw
out the shape of four ears and using my X-Acto knife, I just cut those out and what I'm going to
be doing is hot gluing one branch to each of the ears and then once we have all of those glued on,
then we will glue them to the top of the reindeer's head. Now, when you glue these on, you do want to
make sure that the antlers are both facing the same direction. Like you can see here, both of my
antlers are glued to the inside of the ear and if you decide to do it on the outside, just make
sure that they're facing the same direction. I do like the way the antlers look glued to the inside
of the ear, but you can do whichever way you prefer. I did decide to go ahead and give my
little reindeers a tail, so I am going to take one of these bamboo skewers and just cut off two small
pieces and paint that in the white paint and then once I have both of those done, I'm just going to
glue it to the back side of each of the reindeer and that way they'll have a little tail.
You can fill your planters with whatever your favorite flowers are, but I'm going to be using
this green snowy pine and one of them that I got at Walmart and I'm just going to take a few of
the pieces off and just place that all inside the planter. I did decide to do both of my planters
a little bit differently, but where they both blend in with each other. So, once I had the first
planter done, this is what it will look like once you have it all filled in and then for the second
one, I'm actually going to use a little bit different greenery. For the second one, I'm going
to be using this green glitter boxwood that also got at Walmart and I'm going to repeat the same
thing. I'm just going to take some of the little branches off and then fill that in, but again, you
can decorate this with whatever type of greenery or flowers that you would like and this is what
your completed little reindeer planters will look like. This next project, I'm going to take two of
these larger vases from Dollar Tree with the wider tops and on both of these, I'm just going to place
some epsom salt in the bottom and I do prefer the epsom salt because it's a little bit heavier and
it looks more like snow and ice and a little bit easier to work with, but I'm just going to put
however much you'd like in the bottom depending on how deep you'd like the fake snow to be
and then taking these little bottle brush trees that I got at Dollar Tree and Walmart, I'm just
going to place those in the bottom of the vases and I just kind of place them together as you can
see here. That way they both fit down inside and I'm just going to place those right in the center
and for the second vase, you're going to repeat the exact same steps as the first. Once you have
both your vases complete, I'm going to take two of these little glass mixing bowls or little serving
bowls that I got at Dollar Tree. They come in a pack of four and I'm going to take two of those
and just place them right inside the vase and these actually fit perfect inside. I didn't glue
them or anything, that way I can go ahead and change out the decor in the bottom if I want to,
but these hold in really good and we're not going to be using real candles. I'm going to be using
little LED candles and you'll just place those right on the top and once you have that done,
then your little vase candles will be complete. For the last project, I'm going to take this white
microfiber cleaning cloth that I got at Dollar Tree and one of these foam green wreaths and I'm
just going to place that right in the center and then I'm going to cut out the center of the cloth,
that way I can wrap it around the wreath as well as I'm going to trim off some of the outside part
and this is what it will look like once I have that done. Then I did make some little splits
around the inside circle, that way I'll be able to fold the material over the foam wreath. Once
I have that all done, I'm just going to take my hot glue and glue the inside of the wreath
and then fold the material over that and I'm going to repeat that all on the inside as well
on the outside of the wreath. Once I had everything glued down, I did still have a lot
of extra fabric so I went ahead and just used my scissors and cut all the excess off and this is
the side I'll be using at the back so you won't be able to see if any of it's got any rough cuts.
Now you could always do this probably a little bit neater but since this is just going to be
hanging on the wall and no one's really going to be seeing the back, I didn't mind it but once I
all the excess cut off, this is what it will look like and then this is what the front will look
like. Once I have that done, I'm going to take two more of these little mini Christmas trees
and I'm just going to apply hot glue on the bottom and then place those trees in the center of the
wreath. This is what it'll look like once you have both little trees in place and then I'm
going to take this Let It Snow ornament that I got at Walmart and I'm going to apply a little
bit of hot glue to that and then I'm going to glue that directly under the trees onto the wreath.
Taking some of that extra fabric that I cut off, I'm going to cut the part that was sewed
off as you can see here and that's what I'm going to use for the hanger
and I'm just going to apply a little bit of hot glue to the back on the top
and then glue that on and wrap it around and that's what we're going to use to hang the wreath.
