How to draw a reindeer antlers headband step by step
How to Draw a Reindeer Antlers Headband · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The headband arch
Start with a big upside-down U shape, like a rainbow, for the band. Draw a second curve just inside it so the band looks thick, and close both ends with short flat lines at the bottom.
Step 3: The left antler
On the left side of the band, draw a tall rounded finger standing straight up from the arch. Add a branch that curves out to the left and one that curves out to the right near the top, each ending in a soft rounded tip.
Step 4: The right antler
Copy the same shape on the right side of the band: one tall rounded finger with two curved branches. Try to make it a mirror of the first antler.
Step 5: The leafy ears
At each end of the band, draw a pointed leaf shape that tucks in behind the arch. Make the left and right ears about the same size.
Step 6: The ear curves
Inside each ear, draw a short curved line that follows the edge of the leaf, like a little smile. This shows the inside of the ear.
Step 7: The bow
In the middle of the band, between the antlers, draw two small loops side by side, like a figure eight lying on its side. Make them touch in the center to make a bow.
Step 8: The jingle bell
Under the bow, draw a dome shape with a wide, slightly flared bottom edge, hanging down from the arch like a tiny bell. Add a short curved shine line inside the top of the bell and a tiny knot in the middle of the bow.
Step 9: The bell clapper
Just below the bell, draw a short flat line and a small round dot hanging from it. This is the clapper that makes the bell jingle.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a reindeer antlers headband
- Draw the arch first and keep it light. Every other part sits on it, so a smooth curve makes everything else easier.
- For each antler, start with the tall finger and then add the two branches near the top. Try to keep the left and right antlers about the same height.
- Draw the bell as a dome with a slightly wider bottom. Add the small clapper last so it does not get squished.

Reindeer antlers headband fun fact for kids
Reindeer are the only kind of deer in which both males and females grow antlers, and they shed and regrow them every year.
Questions about drawing a reindeer antlers headband
What shapes do I need to draw a reindeer antlers headband?
You need a big upside-down U for the band, tall rounded fingers for the antlers, two leaf shapes for the ears, two small loops for the bow, and a dome with a small dot for the bell.
How do I make my reindeer headband look cuter?
Add a bright bow and a shiny bell, and give the antlers soft, rounded tips. Little sparkles or snowflakes around the headband make it look extra festive.
How do I make both antlers match?
Draw one antler first, then look at its height and branch angles as you draw the second. Making a few light dots as guides for the tips can help both sides line up.
