I dusted off my scissors and whipped up some new Christmas bag toppers this week after I finished working on my Document Your December doodles! These Reindeer Noses were inspired by my love of Maltesers. No reindeer were harmed in the making of these treat bags, but I have to admit that not all the Maltesers survived…… I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help myself. Nom nom nom!
There are two different sized toppers in the pack, one is 7 inches wide, the other 4 inches wide. (I resized them down to 6 inches and 3.5 inches when I printed them out to fit the bags that I had!). In the download you’ll find jpeg versions of each so you can easily resize as necessary, along with easy-peasy ready-to-print PDF versions.

I added some Glossy Accents on to the reindeer nose to give it some extra shine and to fill the bags I used the Maltesers that I managed to stop myself eating and red gobstoppers (I got my gobstoppers from The Sweet House – they were very helpful and happily supplied me with a bag full of red Rudolph noses for me!). Rudolph himself came from my December Doodads doodles:
I hope you enjoy the bag toppers! I thought they’d make great little party favours, or class gifts – they’re so quick and easy to put together (especially if you don’t spend half your time eating the brown noses…)
Thank you for the free toppers, I’m just making them now. Xx
Love the Reindeer Noses toppers. My friends and I are always on the lookout for things we can use for favors for the Meals on Wheels program. They will love these.
Thank you for the free printable. I used a cherry sour for the red candy.
Thank you for the labels! Appreciate it totally! 😀

Thank you for the printable! Very cute!
What do you suggest for the red noses? I am having a hard time finding anything big enough. Fireballs are great for the adults, but not the kiddos. LOL
I used a red gobstopper (this is where I ordered mine from – its a UK shop: http://www.thesweethouse.co.uk) but you could use Jaffas (Australia / NZ) or gumballs! I hope that helps!
I found these Cherry chewy balls at the Dollar Store, great for little kids, if you need exact name I can tell you just don’t have them in fro
nt of me right now
I know I’m a year behind everyone else, but I love this idea, so all the kids in our family are getting these and money thing year – Christmas – sorted! Thank you so much. (and lovely to find another Uk blog)
It’s never too late to buy (and eat) Maltesers!! 🙂 I hope the kids enjoy them!
you are so creative! you have such wonderful ideas. thanks for sharing! =_)
Thank you so much! I’m making treat bags for the classrooms of my two granddaughters. These are perfect!!!
Thank you for your generous sharing and beautiful work 🙂
I have been looking all over for the red noses, thank you so much for saying you have gobstoppers, never thought of that and the link has awakened plenty of childish memories thank you for all the info. and of course the toppers.
SO! cute
Thanks Kate! We made these for my teenage daughter’s friends! Blogged it: http://misskim.typepad.com/justmisskim/2012/12/a-quick-christmas-gift-project.html
I just saw them! So cute! I hope Kiah’s friends enjoy them too!
I love these Toppers! Thank you for the freebie! I’m making these tomorrow and had one question.
Does the background print out brown or will I need brown cardstock? Love these!!
Thanks in advance!!
Hi Kaitlyn! The background will print out brown, so just print onto regular white cardstock 🙂
Great, Thank you so much! My first grader is so excited to hand these out!!
Thanks Kate! I am in Florida and I used Whoppers and a red gumball. I also just folded standard pint size zip-top bags to fit the toppers.
I’m glad you found the perfect supplies to make your own!
Thank you for the cute toppers 🙂
Thank your for the topper. I used them for Reindeer Nose Cookies!

Oh I am glad you like them! Thanks for mentioning me on your blog too! 🙂
Thank You ! These are so cute ! My grandchildren will be thrilled to share these with their classmates !
Hi I love this idea! The bags I found were 5 inches and I am not sure how to resize the jpeg. Can you help? 🙂
Hi Christina, I resized mine in Photoshop and then just arranged them onto an A4 sized document to print them out. If you don’t have Photoshop or any similar image editing software please contact me and I’ll resize them to the size you need, no problem!
Hello, I love your work….I’m making these for my son’s kinder class. how do i go about resizing the large one, it is a touch too big for the bags i have used
Hi Kate, I resized mine in Photoshop and then just arranged them onto an A4 sized document to print them out. If you don’t have Photoshop or any similar image editing software please contact me and I’ll resize them to the size you need, no problem! 🙂
A big YAHOO and thanks from a user in Texas. I am packing these with a red gumball that are in most stores here. These are precious and appreciate the freebie.
Red ones – I used Jaffa’s
Oh these turned out just perfectly Kate! I love the extra glossy noses 🙂 …have you had you fill of Maltesers?
Nope! I don’t think I will ever have my fill of Maltesers! EVER! 🙂
These are great…. but.. how do you resize the toppers?….
Hi Gill, I resized them in Photoshop and then just arranged them onto an A4 sized document to print them out. If you don’t have Photoshop or any similar image editing software please contact me and I’ll resize them to the size you need, no problem! 🙂
Hi Kate, They’re gorgeous! I posted a link to them from here http://craftandkids.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/free-printable-reindeer-noses.html. I hope that’s ok! Sally
Thank you Kate! these will be great for the nieces and nephews at our Christmas party!!!
what a great free idea Thanks – going to use jaffas for the red nose seem as though that’s the closest thing I can find here in Australia 🙂
Cute! Cute! Cute! Thanks so much, Kate!

Where did you get the cello bags from, and what size are they? 🙂
Hey Michelle, I’ve had these little plastic bags in my stash for a while now so I am not sure where I got them from I’m afraid. It was probably a UK craft shop! The big one I used is 6 inches wide, the small one 3.5 inches (I resized the bag toppers to fit my bags, the toppers themselves are 7 and 4 inches wide). You could use any small craft bag and just resize the toppers to fit.
I got 100 6×4 bags at Michael’.s. So bag toppers would be resized to 4 inches wide.
For some reason I can’t download the bag toppers?
Hey Susan, I’m sorry you’re having problems downloading the bag toppers. If you click on the big green text, “>> REINDEER NOSES BAG TOPPERS DOWNLOAD < <” the download should begin and then you will need to extract the zip file. Please contact me if you are still having problems.
I can’t seem to download this either. Could you email it to me please? They are soon cute!! brandimc@hughes.net
awesome idea! in australia we have jaffas… they are a red toffee lolly with choc inside 🙂
Oooh yummy, they sound GOOD! 🙂
This is adorable! Thanks so much for sharing!
Always so amazing, thank you so much, you are very generous!
Wow – these are so cute! Thank you for your generosity!
What are the red ones? I’ve never seen red malt balls before.
Hi Julie, the red ones are red gobstoppers (not maltesers!). I managed to find some roughly the same size as a malteser / malt ball from an online store here in the UK, hopefully you can find something similar where you are! HTH
Awesome! Thanks so much, I love your printables and the kit too! I had already planned to make these treat bags this Christmas, after seeing it on Pinterest. You just made things easy for me!
These are gorgeous, thank you so much!
thank you so much for this! very cute!
Thanks, Katie! Very cute and fun! We get Maltesers in Penang so that’s nice. I’m wondering what you used for the red ones?
I used red gobstoppers for the red Rudolph noses! I got mine from a UK online store, I hope you can find something similar where you are!
Aha! Ok, I was starting to get miffed at how other countries get better candy than we do! 😉
Awesome, thanks!
What a great idea! Thank you very much 🙂
Sooo cute! I wonder where I can find red ones here. Thanks!!
this is so cute, thank you so much!
Brilliant idea and what a good excuse to buy Maltezers. 🙂 Thanks.
Thanks for the gorgeous bag toppers Kate! I’m making these this year and now thanks to you I have one less thing on my to do list!
Thank you for amazing freebie Kate! Lovely and very cute! <3
Thanks for the cute and useful freebie! Jane
