Gather your loved ones close this holiday and make something special together! Scroll down for craft beer-themed crafts that make wonderful homemade gifts or festive decorations for your own home.
Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reinbeer
Go down in history just like Santa’s famous red-nosed reindeer with this adorable 6-pack craft. All you need is a 6-pack of Northern Lights IPA (or your favorite Starr Hill beer), brown pipe cleaners, googly eyes, red pom-poms, and a hot glue gun. Oh, and a little holiday spirit.
- Cut 12 approximately 3.5 inch pieces of pipe cleaner
- Cut 12 approximately 2.5 inch pieces of pipe cleaner
- Twist the shorter pipe cleaner piece around the longer piece about ⅔ of the way up to create a three pronged antler. Repeat 12 times.
- Glue 2 antlers to the back of each bottle just below the cap.
- Glue one red pom-pom and two eyes to the front of the bottle (pictured below)Pro Tip: Center ‘the face’ on the neck label star to keep each bottle consistent!
This Rudolf 6-pack is the perfect party favor, last minute holiday gift, or seasonal decoration!
Beery, Cheery Wreath Ornament
This craft is simple and fun to prep, as you’ll need to crack open a few Starr Hill beers in advance. To create your own ornaments, you’ll need bottle caps, ribbon, and a hot glue gun.
- You can make these ornaments any size you like, but we used 5—6 bottle caps per wreath
- Arrange bottle caps in a circle, then glue the edges where they touch
- Let cool for 3 minutes
- Tie ribbon of choice in a bow at the bottom
These bottle cap wreaths are a beautiful and unique gift or addition to your own tree.
After you deck the halls with these one-of-a-kind crafts, crack open a craft beer to celebrate and bring good cheer.
