How to: Whimsical Kissing Reindeer Necklace

I wanted to make a fun Christmas themed necklace, but also wanted it to be versatile enough to wear all year round. This was the result - a cute, romantic reindeer necklace that is easy to make, and super whimsical to wear all year round.

Glue your reindeer to the centre of your twig. Make sure it looks like they are kissing!

Wrap the stems of the flowers around the branch. This is an optional step - I did it to hide my messy gluing, but if you are a tidier gluer than me, you could skip this. You can find a wide variety of wire stemmed flowers like this in cake decorating shops.

Cut your necklace in half, and attach each end to a jump screw using a jump ring. Then, screw your jump screws into the centre of each reindeer's back. Mine were made out of a really soft plastic, but if yours are a bit more well made, you may require a drill to do this.

Now all you have to do is enjoy wearing your reindeer necklace. It would look great when worn as a statement necklace with a dress or under the collar of a shirt. Or pimp up the Christmas factor and wear it with a Christmas jumper.

How are you accessorising this Christmas?
