Transform plastic bottles into reindeer Christmas decoration for your garden
End of year celebrations are often synonymous with bright and magical decorations in our houses and gardens. If you are looking for a creative and ecological idea to decorate your exterior, why not turn plastic bottles into adorable Christmas reindeer? Not only will you recycle everyday items, but you will also bring an original touch to your garden.
Materials required:
- Empty and clean plastic bottles
- Brown and white paint
- Black plastic or paint eyes
- Black felt
- Sheets of cardboard or paperboard
- Strong glue
- Birds
- Brush
Manufacturing Steps:
1. First remove the labels and clean the plastic bottles carefully. Make sure they are dry before starting processing.
2. Paint each plastic bottle entirely with brown paint. Allow to dry completely before applying a second layer if necessary.
3. Use white paint to create the reindeer belly. Draw an oval shape on the lower part of the bottle, then fill it with white paint. Let it dry.
4. Glue the plastic eyes above the belly, or paint eyes with black paint if you do not have plastic eyes.
5. Cut wood into cardboard or cardboard sheets. Stick them on top of the bottle to form the reindeer woods.
6. Using the black felt, draw a red nose on the reindeer snout to give it a more realistic and festive look.
7. To finalize your decoration, put your recycled plastic reindeer in your garden by grouping them together by family or dispersing them in a fun way.

- For an extra touch of shine, you can add glitter to brown or white paint.
