I LOVE decorating for the holidays and think that it’s never too early to start! Especially with DIY’s…you do them now so by Christmas time, you are good to go and look like you’ve had Christmas organized for decades! Plus, I love rustic cabin décor, and this would fit right in. I wish I had a cabin that we were remodeling to put this in…but for now it will stay with my Christmas stash!

- Twine

How-To:
- Draw a Reindeer Silhouette with a pencil onto your plywood.You can free-hand this or download something from the internet.

Tips:
- Question: Do you have to use a jigsaw? Answer: If you want to use this on wood, then yes. However, you could do a cute version on foam core which would only require scissors and/or a craft knife.
