Super Easy Santa Ornaments
Every year the kids and I love making Christmas ornaments together. Each year we look for new and different ornaments to make. The inspiration for these Santa ornaments came from some gift tags that I saw one year while Christmas shopping.
To make these adorable little ornaments you'll need:
Thick poster board in the color of your choice. (I used white because I already had white on hand)
Red felt (The stiff kind is great for small hands)
Cotton balls
Craft Glue (I like Alene's craft glue for projects like this)
Scissors
Santa's coat template (Or you can opt to free hand as I did here. This is a very forgiving project)
Ribbon
A Sharpie (To write your kiddos name and year that you made each ornament on the back)
I cut our the poster board in the shape of Santa's coat, then used the poster board as a template to cut out the felt. While I worked on that my kiddos pull apart pieces of cotton balls to use for the "fur" on Santa's coat. Next we laid out the pieces and the kiddos glued them accordingly. Be sure to glue your ribbon (cut at your desired length) to glue in between the poster board layer and the felt layer. Allow to drive overnight, just to be on the safe side then decorate away!
