Last Minute Christmas Gift: Reindeer Beer!

Just before Christmas, panic can usually set in if you still have some last minute presents to buy for friends and family - I'm here to help with that!

A few years ago I wanted to get a little extra for my boyfriends Christmas gift and I decided on bottles of beer, with a twist!  I decided to made some rein-beers to make the gift super festive and they were so easy to make.

You'll need:

• Beer bottles (or any bottles you'd like to use)
• Brown pipe cleaners
• Googly eyes
• Red pom poms or circular stickers
• Glue or sticky dots (or something similar to stick down your red nose and eyes with)
• Bows, ribbon or anything else you'd like to use to dress up your rein-beer  

We'll start by creating the antlers for the rein-beers, take a full length pipe cleaner and wrap this around the bottle, just below the bottle cap, and twist to hold in place leaving the lengths of the pipe cleaner pointing upwards.

Take another pipe cleaner and cut this in half (or shorter if you'd prefer) and bend into a U shape, attach this to one side of the pipe cleaner and twist to secure.  Do the same for the other side of the pipe cleaner - and now you have reindeer antlers!

Next we can secure Rudolph's nose, add some glue to one side of your pom pom and then attach this to the neck of the bottle (leaving enough room to add your googly eyes above), if you're using a red circular sticker you can easily just stick this onto the bottle neck.

To finish off your rein-beer, stick 2 googly eyes to the bottle neck above Rudolph's nose and if you have any ribbon or bows, add them to your rein-beer and that's it!  

It's so simple to create and can be done on any bottle you'd like to use.  It's such a great way to dress up a small gift for someone; I'm using these to add as extras to a few Christmas presents I have already bought.

Are you planning on creating this as a last minute Christmas idea?
