    Instructions:
    I put 3 layers of paper mache on my light bulb first. Although this is optional, I highly recommend it because this helps make the light bulb less fragile. (You can find out how to paper mache here.)
    Paint the light bulb with light brown paint. Let the paint dry completely. I set the neck of the lightbulb into an empty film container. This worked great while the paint dried!
    With the neck of the light bulb pointing up, paint eyes and a mouth on the reindeer. Glue on the red, pom-pom nose.
    Cut two antlers out of fun foam using the pattern below. Glue one to each side of the light bulb neck.

    Form a loop with a piece of thin ribbon, about 10 - 12 inches long and glue it on the top, back edge of your reindeer head. This will be the hanger for your ornament.
