Santa Bottle Craft

With our Santa Bottle Craft for kids you an send out a whole load of Christmas cheer in these adorable Santa containers. 

There are many frantic holiday shoppers, old bah humbug scrooges and just non-holiday people… pass along one of these containers filled with a sweet treat and pump them with holiday cheer.

Christmas can be stressful, but it is supposed to be fun. A great time to spend with family and friends.  Short on cash? Or just want a thoughtful home-made gift? Why not make one of these Santa Christmas Cheer bottles and fill it with candy. Simple, adorable and unique gift for this Christmas. My cute Santa bookmarks are another great DIY Christmas gift for kids this year.

Craft Supplies: Empty pill bottle, we used a Gaviscon bottle. Red paint Paintbrush Googly eyes Pom pom White tissue paper Glue Scissors Marker Christmas themed stickers

Step #1:

Paint the bottom half of the bottle with red paid. This will be Santa’s suit. Set it aside to dry. 

While it is drying, why not check out more of our Christmas crafts for kids.

Step #2:

If there is parental supervision, a hot glue gun may work better for this part.

Add on the googly eyes and a pom pom for Santa’s nose. 

Step #3:

Cut up a bunch of strips of tissue paper, crumple them all up a little bit. 

Glue some on the back side of the bottle, in all the area that is not painted red. 

Step #4:

Add more of the tissue paper strips to the front. This time do not fill where Santa’s face is. 

Step #5:

Add a balled up piece of tissue paper to the top of the bottle. You can also choose to use a pom pom if you have a large enough white pom pom. 

Step #6

Decorate Santa’s suit with some festive Christmas stickers.

Here we are! Fun Santa Christmas crafts for kids and an adorable way to give out some sweets this Christmas!

Now, head to the store and fill this up with something sweet – you can add holiday chocolates, mints, or candy. If you still have more candy to give why not make Santa sack from paper mache. It can also be filled with candy canes.
