A WOMAN who couldn’t afford to buy a reindeer decoration has made her own using sticks found on a walk – and it looks incredible.
The savvy woman revealed how she had named her reindeer “Ralph” – and said he was very easy to make.
Taking to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, she proudly shared off her bargain Christmas creation.
She wrote: “Meet Ralph… when the log reindeer’s are too expensive, make your own.”
The woman shared how she found conkers, twigs and chunky sticks in the woods on a walk to make his decoration.
She then explained how she used a glue gun to attach these items to logs to make the finished reindeer.
The Christmas lover used a £2.99 bag of logs from Home Bargains for the body, but you could find old wood for this if you don’t want to spend anything on your reindeer.
She added: “May make him a lady friend tomorrow as his looking a bit lonely.”
‘Ralph’ clearly impressed other people looking for Christmas decorating ideas, as her post has racked up nearly 5,000 likes.
One person commented: “I’m doing it.”
Another added: “good wee project for the boys.”
For more festive stories, this eight-year-old girl wrote a heartbreaking letter to Santa ask for NO presents – and it’s left people in tears.
And this woman shared a bizarre guide on how to cook Christmas dinner in the dishwasher.
