This framed glitter reindeer Christmas decoration was adapted with permission from Silhouette's blog. The instructions use a shape from Alaa' K's portfolio on Silhouette. To make it exactly like the original you'll need a Silhouette Portrait machine, double-sided adhesive, glitter, a rhinestone and patterned paper. However, if you don't own a Silhouette or don't have one with you, there are ways you can improvise and still come away with something very nice. Let's get started!

When you open the reindeer shape from Alaa' K, you'll notice it was designed as a print and cut.
If you don't have access to a printer, the next step comes in handy. Instead of printing the shape, ungroup it ("ungroup" is a command in the Silhouette software), and delete all but one of the cut lines, leaving yourself with the outline of a deer. If you keep this little tidbit in mind, it will make print-and-cut shapes super versatile.
Using the instructions on the packaging, cut the reindeer out of double-sided adhesive, adhere it to your piece of snowflake paper and covered the deer with glitter. Then add a little red rhinestone for his nose and pop it into your frame.
Voila, a cute little project that you can finish in a short time and be able to spend the rest of craft night chatting, eating, laughing, ooohing and ahhhing over everyone else's projects.
