I know some of you are cringing at the thought of Christmas right now – BUT if you want to be on your A-game this time of year, you are going to have to start thinking about those holiday crafts right now.

Lucky for you, today I’m sharing an EASY {and fast} Christmas kid craft that is perfect to turn into an ornament afterwards. I call it the Santa Star Ornament and it’s just that – a wooden star turned into a Santa ornament.

My son absolutely LOVED making this simple DIY with me and I’m so excited to add this sweet keepsake to our tree, for years to come! #gluedtomycrafts

Supplies:

* Assorted Wood Stars {affiliate link}
* Craft Paint {Red, Black, Tan}
* Paint Brushes
* White Cotton Balls
* Scissors
* Hot Glue Gun
* Twine/Ribbon

Directions:

* First have your child paint their stars completely red.
* Once done, paint on a Santa face in the center of the star. You will also want to paint on black boots on two of the star points. Set aside to let your pieces dry completely.
* Now take a single cotton ball and cut it into fours. Hot glue a cottonball piece near the face of Santa to represent his beard. Take another cottonball piece and hot glue it on one of the other star points, to give the look of his hat.* To finish it off and turn it into an ornament, hot glue some ribbon or twine to the back of the wood star.
* Then display proudly!
