Get ready to add a little woodland charm to your rearview mirror with this adorable felt reindeer mirror dangle! This quick and cozy DIY comes together with just a few simple steps, and the soft felt ball base gives it the sweetest handmade touch. As a bonus, you can add 1–2 drops of your favorite essential oil to the felt ball to turn your reindeer dangle into a mini car scent diffuser!
- Cut chain into equal lengths & put on open jump ring. Attach the open ring to one of the soldered/closed jump rings.
- Thread your needle and double the thread. Both ends should be knotted together creating a continuous loop.
- Find the center of your ball and push the needle and thread all the way through. The knot should be on one end of the ball. That is the side your reindeer will be on.
- Thread your needle through the soldered loop ring on your tassel. Push the needle and thread back thru the center of the ball, close to your center point, pulling the thread tight. This attaches the soldered loop of the tassel to the bottom of the ball. Repeat if desired.
- On the top - side with the knot- put your needle through the base of the reindeer and then through the second soldered ring. Thread back down thru the top of the reindeer and the ball. This will attach your ring & reindeer securely to the ball base. Repeat if desired.
- Pull your needle thru the space between the ball and the reindeer bottom. Make a knot to secure your thread. Put another length of thread on your needle and secure the knot with a shallow stich under the reindeer.
- Add beads on to the top with shallow stiches back and forth on the top part of the ball. When you are done make another knot under the base of the reindeer to secure the thread in place.
8. Double your ribbon and thread the loop into the soldered ring on top of the reindeers head. Pull the two ends thru the loop securing it to the soldered ring.
