*Tip: when inserting the colored candies into the treat bag, slip in a piece of paper. This paper helps guide the candy and makes the work easier.*

*![Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-fill](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-fill.jpg?width=725&name=Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-fill.jpg)*

Use Mini Dots to attach the antlers to the top of the green circle.

Place the tan face over the antlers with Mini Dots. 

![Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-head](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-head.jpg?width=725&name=Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-head.jpg)

Adhere two eyes to the face with the small white circles and Mini Dots. 

![Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-eyes](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-eyes.jpg?width=725&name=Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-eyes.jpg)

 Use the black marker to make pupils  in the center of the white pieces.

Attach the finished design to the filled treat bag top using Mini Dots.

![Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-attach](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer-Blog/2017-2018/christmas/Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-attach.jpg?width=725&name=Glue-Dots-Reindeer-Candy-Topper-attach.jpg)

 Close the topper and adhere shut.

*Tips: *

- *If the pieces of paper seem small to work with, use a tweezers to aid in your handling of them.*
- *Cut multiple pieces of each shape. Have parts ready for children to work with.*
- *Replace paper eyes with google eyes for a dimensional effect.*
