Leslie on Apr 20, 2016Duane, if the reindeer are hollow cut out a section of the top of the back line with a heavy duty plastic bag and fill with potting soil and plant with flowers like petunias and trailing foliage like vinca or potato vine. To anchor get lengths of rebar which home depot or lowes sell and push through the bottom of the hoof area up through the legs for stability. This is if they are not in a flying position and have all 4 feet on the ground If the Rebar is too long maybe your local garage can cut for you or if you don't have tools a friend might be able to help . Not sure if HD or Lowes will cut. Before you plant the flowers and the deer is upright put small pea stone or gravel or even Quickcrete in each leg to secure the rebar and to also make the deer more stable and bottom heavy. If the reindeer are in flying positions, attach chains and hang from tree limbs if you have a wooded area in back. Lol might make them look like they are jumping through the woods. Good Luck, and post a picture when you are done please.Helpful Reply
