Christmas

Tis’ the season to get crafty with our Christmas craft ideas. We will get you in the Christmas spirit with hundreds of activities to choose from.

Cardboard Roll Advent Calender

  • Step 1Using a pencil, lightly draw the outlines for Santa’s face and suit.
  • Step 2Paint Santa’s body red and his face a skin tone colour. Allow paint to dry completely.
  • To create a skin tone colour, mix white paint with a touch of brown.
  • Step 4Use the template to cut a beard and moustache from adhesive felt.
  • Step 5Attach to Santa’s face.
  • Step 6Cut a black belt and white trimming from adhesive felt and a yellow belt buckle from glitter adhesive foam.
  • Step 7Attach to Santa’s body.
  • Step 8Use glue dots to attach two peg segments to Santa’s sides as arms. Attach two wiggle eyes to his face.
  • Step 9Using the hat template, cut out Santa’s hat from red felt. Make the hat using fabric glue and attach a thin strip of white adhesive felt around the base edge of the hat. Attach a small white pom pom to the top of his hat. The hat is not attached to Santa.
  • Step 10Using the final template, cut out a base from white card. Fold up the tabs as demonstrated.
  • Step 11Place glue on the outside of the tabs and push up into the base of the cylinder.
  • Step 12Place the hat on top of Santa’s head but not glued. This will allow it to be used as a lid.
  • Step 13Attach a number to Santa’s hat and place sweets in the cylinder. Now you can create another twenty four characters and you have your very own advent calendar!
