Gift Wrap Tube Santa Claus

Poor Santa! Mrs. Claus placed him on a diet this year and this is the result. You can make this tall and lanky Santa using an empty gift wrapping tube (something we automatically have enough of at Christmas time) and felt. Then simply add a few embellishments and he can be decorating some corner of your home while adding holiday cheer. A box side was used for the base so he will stand freely without falling over.

Celebrate With More Christmas Craft Ideas

If you enjoyed making the Gift Wrap Tube Santa Claus, here are three more Christmas crafts that you might enjoy creating:

1. Pom Pom Snowmen Ornaments: Using white pom poms, felt, and tiny accessories like googly eyes and tiny buttons, you can create adorable snowmen ornaments to hang on your Christmas tree. These little snowmen are quick and easy to make, and they add a touch of whimsy to your holiday decorations.

2. Pine Cone Reindeer: Gather some pine cones, googly eyes, pipe cleaners, and red pom poms to make cute reindeer decorations. Twist the pipe cleaners around the pine cone to create antlers, add googly eyes and a red pom pom for the nose, and voila - you have a sweet little reindeer to adorn your home this Christmas.

3. Paper Strip Christmas Tree: This craft is perfect for those who love paper crafting. Cut strips of green paper in varying lengths, then glue them together in a tree shape on a piece of cardstock. Add a yellow star at the top, and you can even add small rhinestones as ornaments if you like. This paper strip Christmas tree is a fun and festive project that can be hung on your wall or used as a holiday card.

We hope you enjoy these Christmas crafts as much as you did making the Gift Wrap Tube Santa Claus! Happy crafting!
