Instructions:

Print templates on cardstock and cut out. Pin the templates to the foam sheet spaced about ¼” apart.
Following the package instructions, carefully use the StyroCutter® Plus to cut out the number of pieces indicated on the patterns to create all three deer. Be sure to keep the blade of the cutter at a 90 degree angle to the top surface of the foam for a straight even edge. Use a scrap piece of foam as a sanding block to lightly smooth any uneven edges.
Assemble the deer and secure with glue. Brush the deer with a coat of tacky glue and sprinkle with glitter while wet to completely cover. Let dry.
Paint the feet of all three deer gold to create the hooves. Tie a small length of ribbon around the necks of each deer and embellish with fresh pine sprigs.
