🪄 Antler Upright Support

  • For Decorative Reindeer: Insert armature wire inside antlers, bend into shape, and stuff around. This guarantees the upright position.

  • For Baby/Child Toy: Avoid wire. Instead:

    • Use tighter stitches (smaller hook).

    • Overstuff firmly.

    • Stitch the antlers down into the head with extra anchoring threads.

✨ And there you have it—your sweet Baby Rattle Reindeer, ready for Christmas cuddles or to decorate under the tree.
