Get the little ones giddy by giving them a gift in a shoebox that looks like the front of Santa's suit. Or make this St. Nick shoebox as a craft with the kids and use it as a secret stash for Christmas cookies!
Directions
Materials:
- Red and black heavyweight or construction paper
- Scissors
- Shoebox with lid
- Tape and double-stick tape
- White self-adhesive trim (Martha Stewart brand)
- Holiday-striped scrapbook paper
- Scallop or decorative edge scissors
- Small aluminum metal sheets, lightweight (available at many craft stores) or heavyweight foil if the kids are making this craft
- White glue
- Silver metal brads
- Cut red paper to fit the top lid and sides of the shoebox and use double-stick tape to secure it. Fold the corners as you like for a neat presentation.
- Add white self-adhesive trim to the bottom edge of the lip.
- Use scallop edge scissors to trim holiday-striped paper and make a top piece or collar for Santa's suit. Adhere the striped paper to the lid using double-stick tape.
- Cut a strip of black paper for Santa's belt.
- Cut out a belt buckle from metal sheets or use household aluminum foil. Attach the buckle to the black belt using a little glue or double-stick tape.
- Give Santa some buttons using metal brads or any buttons (Tip: Use a tack to make a hole first and then insert a brad).
- Cover the bottom of the shoebox with striped paper and using double-stick tape.
Thank you!
