DIY Vintage Santa Ornament

By: Erin Sipes for My Very Educated Mother

Compliment your vintage holiday decor with this DIY Vintage Santa Ornament. Handmade Christmas ornaments always add character and personality to your tree...and can inspire great family conversations!

Materials:

Glue
Hot glue & gun
Glitter (we used red and clear)
Vintage Santa images via The Graphics Fairy
Frozen juice lids
Accordion folded paper medallions (either vintage book pages or a nice scrapbooking paper)
A thin tinsel garland
Santa Images

Instructions:

Print out the Santa Images template and cut out your Santa head of choice.
Slather a good helping of glue onto your juice lid, then pour glitter on and shake off.
Glue the Santa right into the middle of the glitter lid.
Then, also with the hot glue, put a ring of the garland around your juice lid.
While the glue dries, you can make a stack of accordion medallions. Once everything has dried you just have to assemble. Glue the glittered Santa juice lid into the middle of the paper medallion using the hot glue gun.

I think this is a great idea. I personally like to alter large and small decorations on our tree, but if bobbylonardo thinks this is too large, here's an idea for him. Eliminate the paper altogether, glue one juice lid to edge of garland and then decorate the other juice lid the same way, insert a ribbon loop between the lids and glue the lids together. What say?!

Hi there, the great thing about this project is that it's customizable! You can choose to make the paper accent as large or small as you'd like. The lid is pretty small, so it should be able to hang on a tree just fine. Thanks! - Julia from FaveCrafts
