Tips for the Mini Antlers
The antlers are small Y-shaped pieces worked in beige and sewn firmly to the head. At mini scale, two simple branches per antler is enough to read as reindeer. The red nose can be a small circle applique or a French knot cluster. A tiny bell on a chain-stitch collar adds festive sound and sparkle.
