How to Make Reindeer Juice Pouches

Remove the straws from the back of each juice pouch. Don’t worry; we’ll tape them back on in the next step!
Step 2: Cover each pouch with brown paper
Cut the brown construction paper to the length needed to cover each juice pouch. Wrap the paper around the juice pouch and secure it with glue or tape. Tape the straw to the back of the juice pouch on top of the paper.
Step 3: Add the eyes and nose
Glue a pair of googly eyes to the front of the juice pouch. Add a red pom-pom nose to the center.
Step 4: Make the pipe cleaner reindeer antlers
To make the antlers, cut one brown pipe cleaner in half and bend it to form a V. Cut another pipe cleaner into four equal sections, and wrap each end of the V with a section of the pipe cleaner.
Step 5: Attach the antlers
Attach the antlers to the back of the reindeer juice pouch using glue or tape.
