DIY Santa Claus Ornament Craft

This DIY Santa Ornament is so adorable! It starts with a clear ornament and uses paint to create Santa himself.

This DIY Santa Ornament is one of our favorites! It’s a fun craft you can do with the kids and it will create memories for the future.

Every year we like to have a Christmas cookie-baking day AND a Christmas ornament-making day.

The fun thing about this ornament craft and why it is good for a wide range of ages is that you can really get creative and make your Santa Claus face your own.

Another option if you don’t wants the super littles to get paint all over the place (and themselves) is to paint the Santa faces ahead of time and then let the kids help stuff the ornaments with the confetti ribbon.

To top it all off, not only is this a fun craft project, but this Santa Claus ornament will look super cute hanging on your Christmas Tree!

So let’s get started on how to make it. You’ll need:
