How to make the reindeer Ornament, or Candy Holders, from the Grafik-Teka free file
This site has incredible projects with FREE files.
But the site is in Spanish, many of the files are studio format, and it's incredibly rare that any of them have any instructions. So not great for newbies, but for those who are comfortable with the process, it's a treasure trove!
Quick Things To Know
- The Download Link - https://grafik-teka.com/2021/11/09/caja-para-esferas-reno/
- "Descargar" means download - look for the purple button.
- This website will convert Studio files to svg

I tried three different ornaments in these. They do not work well at all for the flat disc ornaments. The round ornaments work great, and these can even stand on their own with those. And the fillable ornaments (2 for $1 at Dollar General) work great in these, if you want to make them a candy holder!
Once you download and unzip the file, find the studio file, and upload that to
Then download the svg.
Then upload it to Design Space
Ungroup the image
(the ungroup icon is at the top right of the screen in Design Space, if using a computer)
Now move your cursor to the top left of the design, left click and hold, dragging the cursor across all of the items on the left. Once they are all selected, click delete.
Do the same for the text above the remaining image.
In the layers panel, select the line and change it to score - then attach it to the reindeer.
I changed the color to brown, then duplicated. Each holder requires two of these pieces.
Then I created two black rectangles, to glue behind the eyes.
My rectangles were 2 wide, by .774 tall
To assemble, fold on the score lines, glue the two bottoms together, and glue the black rectangles over the eyes on the inside
The remaining holes at the top, are for tying the holder together. But you can also run a string through the top of your ornament and tie it through the holes in the back, to secure it better, before adding the ribbon.
As I mentioned earlier, these really work much better with round ornaments. The flat disc ornaments move around a lot, and cannot stand on their own.
The 3 inch two piece fillable ornaments, which are 2 for $1 at Dollar General, work perfectly if you want to make these a candy holder ornament.
