Miles (the dachshund) is wearing a harness made from strips of old denim, a found sweatshirt and a metal snap. The harness is adhered to the sled with strips of velcro which I bought previously for a school project. The sled (filled with crafting goodies, cheese puffs and watermelon flavored pop rocks) is made from cardboard, tape and hot glue and has been papier mached (I made my own wheat glue with flour, water and glue) and painted with children's poster paints.

The antlers are made from pipe cleaners that I had leftover from another school project.

The only things I bought were a bottle of glue and the poster paints totaling $7.

Will you get a visit from the reindachshund on a crafting day?? Be extra good!

That dachshund is Dashing, Donning his sweater while Blitzing for cheese sticks and Prancing for pop rocks - perhaps he's wishing to be Cupid to a Vixen (Bessie?) - or at least have a Dancer or two?

...care to Comet?

He looks like the Grinch's dog Max! Best craft ever!

that's too-dorable. just make sure he doesn't eat the pop rocks; that could give him the fear!

I like the addition of the cheese puffs. Very "Holiday."
