Here is what the finished reindeers looks like now
You can find my tutorial here
You can find my reindeer poems here to go on the tags.
****Updated****
Ok just to answer a question regarding the cloth used:
To the lady that pointed out that it isn't flannel fabric but terry towelling - I'm in the UK we call the cloth a flannel and it doesn't refer to the fabric which is indeed towelling. A flannel in the UK is a cloth that you wash with!!
*** Update - Thank you to those of you that have taken the time to comment, it means alot to me. I've had some lovely comments and a couple of strange ones - I've ignored the strange ones as those people were just weirdo's!!!! Thank you also to people that are following my blog and to those of you that have headed over to Facebook and liked my page Bumble Bee's Craft Den.
FYI this post has been viewed more than 94,000 times, I am flabbergasted!!!!!!!!
**12 Oct 2013** - this year's Flannel Reindeers can be seen here!!
That looks soooo cute. I really like the tag that you have added, it says it all so that people won't keep asking what's inside it ;0) x
ReplyDeleteLove the tag, it really does takeaway the "homemade" aspect and turns it into "handmade". Great idea hun. x
ReplyDeleteThats great, I love the ears/antlers!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable
ReplyDeleteLove this idea, so cute for a Christmas gift. I am posting this on my blog and linking back to yours:)

Tried to make this but couldn't figure out how to tie the wash cloth around the bar of soap I bought :( very cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cute! Did you hot glue the eyes and nose onto the washcloth? I would love to see a tutorial!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in Elementary School, I did this as a craft/present for my parents! No 19 years later, I'm having my students do this for their parents! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Agree with Vicki about a tutorial. Some of us are visual learners.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help but notice that the reindeer looks like it's made of a terry cloth washcloth, not flannel. I also think a tutorial would be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteVERY CUTE!!!!
ReplyDeleteSooooo cute! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletehi just seen your blog on pinerest love it thank you
ReplyDeleteHi, I just saw the reindeer with soap. I think I'll adapt, leave off antlers, and make it an Easter bunny for Easter. :)

ReplyDeleteHI...found you through pinterest it's JUne of 2012 and I still don't see intructions or even the poem....I'm sure I could figure out how to make it myself...but I would like to see the poem. Thanks
ReplyDeleteClick on the picture and you can read the poem - or make one of your own1 Be creative - add your own flair! I am pretty sure I can wrap a bar of soap, glue some eyes on and add antler pipe cleaners! Give it whirl!

ReplyDeleteThis is very cute! Thank you for posting it! I was sorry to read that people have been rude to you about this posting and I hope you don't take it personally--although that can be very hard at times.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes from a new follower!
This is adorable - getting my Christmas DIY list ready to go, 4 months early but we're moving in about 3 weeks - just getting everything in order. The kids don't know it yet, but its going to be rather a smaller Christmas this year, as money is tighter but we're all going to be together and that's the meaning of the holidays, right? I'm sure I can figure out how to do this on my own.. Thank you again for spending the time to post it to begin with. Hope you're having a lovely summer. Sure is hot here in the States. :) Take care.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea. Very cute an fast.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this cute idea on your blog...I found it on pinterest and I stocked up on some goodies from bath and body works last season to include in them. I can't wait to give these! It'll be a much more creative way to give the bath items than usual!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I will be making these this year for sure. Oh and the silly person, they can click on the picture for the poem.

ReplyDeleteI came across this idea and think it is just too cute..what a creative mind you have.Thanks so much for posting a pic. It's people like you that make me look like I know what I am doing!!!

ReplyDeleteOhhh that's brilliant! Thanks from Down Under xx
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea... (and thought everyone knew that the UK calls them flannels---so much nicer than "washcloth"). Guess that reader never listened to Sting.
