Washcloth Reindeer

When this time of year comes around, I love getting crafty with our home decor and gifts. In the spring, we made washcloth bunnies (seen here) and they were a huge hit! So, I headed back to Wal-Mart today to see if they had brown washcloths to give this idea a try! Luckily, they have two shades of brown washcloths for less than $2 each. I opted for the darker shade but I think mixing light and dark brown washcloths would be adorable too, especially if you plan on making a bunch.

They are just so cuddly, cute, and I love that they smell like fresh soap! A bunch of people on my Facebook Fan Page have commented that using a homemade bar of soap would be neat. I love that idea! One person said that these would be neat to make and donate to a shelter (how’s that for a smart and thoughtful idea?).
