Letter to Santa Ornament
Write a letter to Santa and have your wishes transported magically to the North Pole with this DIY ornament. Just get our free printable, and add materials to a clear glass ornament for a delightful addition to the Christmas tree.
Materials
- Empty glass or plastic round ornament
- Santa letter and tag printable
- Scissors
- Faux snow
- Faux Christmas pine
- Red and white Christmas twine or other thin ribbon
- Hot glue gun
Instructions
- Print and cut the letter to Santa and the tag.
- If you'd like, write in your wish list on the Santa letter.
- Poke a small hole in the “Dear Santa” tag (try using a needle or tiny scissors to make the hole) to later string through the twine and around the letter.
- Roll up the Santa letter. Wrap the twine around the roll, and tie off. Add the tag to a twine end, and finish off with a bow. Cut the ends as needed.
- Create a make-shift funnel using the scraps of the printable paper to now add faux snow inside the ornament.
- Add a small clipping of a fake pine branch.
- Gently insert the letter to Santa. Nestle into the faux snow to keep from sliding around.
- Once it looks good, add some hot glue inside the metal cap of the ornament to seal it closed.
Notes
- Instead of a pine branch, you could use holly and berry, or fake candies. Anything small with a Christmas feel.
