The basic structure of the cone feeder is the same.
1. You will need a piece of tan or brown card stock.
2. Holding the paper horizontally in front of you, fold the bottom left corner of the paper towards the middle of the paper.
3. Next, fold the bottom of the right hand corner so it wraps around the curved shape of the other side you folded in already. Adjust the paper to form a cone on the bottom.
4. Use a small stapler to staple the bottom of the cone together.
Tip: For young children doing this craft, use one or two glue dots to hold the paper together.
5. Fold those long corners at the top over to make cute little reindeer ears.

The Reindeer Cone Feeder for Santa's Reindeer can be used to feed Santa's Reindeer on Christmas Eve.
Poke small holes in the top of the cone, near the ears. Stick a long, hard bread stick through each hole. These bread sticks are the antlers.
Use a piece of twine to make a handle. Hang it on a low branch in a tree in your yard.
Tell the kids it is to feed Santa's Reindeer, and that the birds can enjoy the leftovers.
