How to make a Santa Ornament

Making this type of Santa Ornament requires:

  • Glue Gun
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • A colored Ornament
  • White Paint

Ok so you are going to start off by painting the bottom half of your ornament white. So it should only have a red "hat" part left. My advice would be to paint them about an hour or so before you start to glue other wise you'll be blowing to dry them with a kiddo asking if they are dry yet lol. Anyway, after the ornament is dry, spread a light ring of hot glue along the edge of the hat and the what paint. Apply a white pipe cleaner to circle around the ornament to form the ring of the hat.

You will want to pre cut the lil black pipe cleaners to make eyes and a nose.



Now it is as simple as adding the glue and sticking on his two eyes and a nose. After this step you will apply a generous amount of glue along his "chin" and mustache area and using pillow stuffing you can add this to create his beard. I just used some stuffing from a old pillow. And thats it :) Let it dry and you have a little Santa Ornament. This is a really fun project to do with your little ones, my daughter had a great time making these with me and it's something to remember every Christmas when you hang that ornament on your tree. :) Have fun!
