This sweet pom-pom Santa is made with a red pom-pom for the body and a white yarn pom-pom for the head. Glue them together with a dab of hot glue and top with a mini Santa hat and Itty Bitty Pom-Pom nose. You can cut a slit in the back of the Santa hat to help it fit around the pom-pom. Tie a length of red baker's twine around the top of the hat for a simple hanger.
These Large DIY Clear Disc Ornaments make the perfect round Santa belly! Just fill with red tinsel pom-poms and wrap a length of 5/8" black satin ribbon around the middle for his belt and secure with hot glue. Cut a belt buckle from gold washi tape. You may want to add a bit of hot glue to the back of the tape to make sure it stays down. Run a length of red baker's twine through the hole on the top of the ornament to create a hanger.
Create a snowy scene for Santa with just a few materials. Remove a Santa Pop-Up from its spring base (it will pull off easily) and hot glue it to the bottom of a Small Round Hanging Globe along with a Medium Green Frosted Sisal Tree. Add a little craft snow to the base of the globe.
Transform a DIY Papier-Mâché Star Ornament into Santa Claus with his arms and legs outstretched with the help of a little acrylic craft paint. Paint the body and arms red, the bottom points of the star black for Santa's boots, and the top point of the star white for Santa's head. Add a red Itty Bitty Pom-Pom nose with hot glue and top with a mini Santa hat. You can cut a slit in the back of the Santa hat to help it fit around the top of the star.
These Red Mini Holiday Stockings make the perfect base for Santa's boots. Start by stuffing with polyester fill or cotton balls. Add a black strap to the boot with a length of 5/8" black satin ribbon. Secure with hot glue. Cut a belt buckle from yellow felt and glue it to the top of the strap with hot glue.
