Easy Kids Christmas Bottle Toppers to Make
If it’s your first time here, welcome! I’m so glad to have you. You’ve just stumbled into a community of crafters who use their craft sessions as a form of self care. We believe that crafting exercises our creative muscles and makes us more patient and awesome moms. Share your self care crafting appointment with me every Wednesday when I craft LIVE with you on Facebook.
Kids love to make and give their crafts away, and they have soooo many friends! They want to give something to everyone. The Rudy and Rita Reindeer Christmas Bottle Topper craft lets your kids make their own gift to give, so it makes it so much more special. Plus, if your kids have lots of friends, this budget friendly project will let you treat them all!
I call these my Rudy & Rita Reindeer Christmas Bottle Toppers, but you can make a Rebecca Reindeer too. These cute felt reindeer Christmas bottle toppers are designed to decorate the top of a Sprite bottle.
Simple to cut out and put together, your kids can do this craft all on their own. You don’t even need to deal with hot glue!

Here’s a list of the Supplies you’ll need to make 2 Christmas Bottle Toppers:
- 1- sheet of felt in light brown
- 2- sheet of felt in dark brown
- 4- 1/2″ googly eyes
- Twine–about 24″
- 2- 1/2″ pom-poms in red or other nose color
- 1- 1/2″ red ribbon.
- 2- 16 oz bottles of Sprite
- Powdered blush
- Optional: to make the girl reindeer, I traded the red nose for a black nose and cut out some paper flowers using my Cricut Maker.
These Kids Christmas List Notebooks are easy and fun for kids to make too!
To assemble the Christmas Bottle Toppers:
- Cut out the felt according to the directions on the pattern sheet
- Gather the center of the ear piece and pinch together using a dab of hot glue or craft glue. Hold until set.
- Use a Q-tip to apply a small amount of powdered blush to the inside of the ears.
- Cut 3 lengths of twine about 2 1/2″ long and tie together with a small piece of twine in the middle. Attach to the center of the ear piece as shown.
- Glue the antlers to the back of the head piece
- Glue the ear piece to the front of the head piece just under the antlers.
- Glue the googly eyes and the pom pom to the center of the face. Use a marker to draw a straight vertical line for the mouth.
- Tie a small bow with the ribbon and glue to the bottom of the face piece.
- Once dry, turn the reindeer over and glue the straight felt piece in a loop to the back of the head piece on top of the antlers. You’ll use this loop to put the reindeer over the top of the bottle.
