• Fold two pipe cleaners in half. Cut at the crease. Put two of those half pieces aside.
• Take the other two half pieces, fold them in half, and cut at the bend. Set aside.
• Twist one of the shorter pipe cleaners (¼ of the original) around one of the halves about ¾" from the end of the pipe cleaner.
• Repeat with another shorter pipe cleaner on the other end of the longer pipe cleaner.
• Bend the pipe cleaner, with the additional pieces twisted on it, in half. 
• Place the arch of a candy cane in the middle of the bent pipe cleaner.
• Twist the pipe cleaner around the candy cane to secure it (the antlers) to the candy.
• Add small pieces of pipe cleaner to various parts of the antlers, by simply twisting it in place, for a more complex look (if desired).
• Play, bend, and manipulate the pipe cleaners until they look like antlers.
• With a hot glue gun, attach two googly eyes to the candy cane about half way from the antlers at the arch and the end of the candy cane.
• Glue a red pom pom to the tip of the candy cane with the same glue gun.
• Tie a bow around the reindeer’s “neck”. I usually do this across from and a little under its "nose".
• Repeat the above for each additional reindeer candy cane.
