Christmas Crafts - Christmas Cards - Cute Santa

This is a Christmas card made with children in mind. The Santa motif looks cute and friendly - almost like a magician or clown and the colors are bold. It is an easy pattern for children to use to make their own cards for Christmas. The card can be kept simple with just the Santa, or you can assist the children to give the card a few more interesting details.

Another tip is that the children make just the Santa figure and use him as a ornament or gift tag for a package.

 

 

Supplies Needed:

- Blank white card
- paper punches with medium and large
  stars
- hand punch with small star (from Fiskars)
- mulberry paper in red
- tan and white
- cardstock in red, white and black
- paper crimper
- decorative edged scissors with scalloped
  edge
- white dimensional paint or white paint
  marker

- craft scissors
- ruler
