• Brown pipe cleaners. To make the antlers for your reindeer, you’ll need two brown pipe cleaners. Luckily, you can grab some at the dollar store to put together this budget-friendly present.
• Printable gift tag. The key to turning your Whoppers into a cute Christmas gift is the gift tag! Keep reading to see how to get your own printable reindeer noses gift tag for your gift in a jar.

How to Make Reindeer Noses in a Jar

Putting together your own reindeer gift couldn’t be easier! After you grab your printable gift tag, just follow these quick instructions to create a fun gift to pass out to all your friends and family member.

Start by filling your mason jar with the candy. Make sure to leave a little bit of space on top so you don’t smash the candy pieces as you put the lid on!

Once you have your jar filled with candy, use your hot glue gun to attach to eyes and a red button nose to the front of the jar.

After that, you can make the antlers. Bend your pipe cleaners in half and twist them around each side of the jar. Continue twisting the sides of each pipe cleaner together, then bend the ends over to create antler shapes.

Next, carefully twist the lid onto the jar. The lid will be tight, so slowly twist while holding the antlers in place to secure the lid in place.

After that, all that’s left to do is add the gift tag. After downloading the tag, print it out on heavy cardstock. Then, cut the tag out around the outer border. Use a hole punch to put a hole in the top of the card, then wrap a piece of twine or ribbon around the lid a few times and attach the gift tag to the top of the jar with a bow.

See how simple it is to turn a boring jar of candy into a cute reindeer? And since this DIY gift idea is so easy to make, it’s also easy to customize!

Try these cute gift ideas to turn your candy into an adorable present for the holidays:

• Add money or a gift card. Make your gift even more impressive by turning this candy gift into a fun money gift in a jar! Place the money or gift card in the center of the jar and surround it with candy before adding your reindeer decorations.
• Use different candy. I love the look of Whoppers for this gift! But if you don’t have any on hand, you can also use Junior Mints, brown M&Ms, Hershey’s Drops, truffles, Milk Duds, chocolate covered peanuts, or chocolate covered espresso beans.
• Decorate with a different nose. In addition to swapping out the candy, you can also swap out the craft supplies you use to decorate your jar! Instead of a button, try using a red pom pom, red jingle bell, or painted red dot as the reindeer’s nose.
