Welcome Christmas into your home this holiday season with our SUPER EASY Craft Foam Star Shaped Santa kid craft idea!
Sure you can buy any pre-made kids craft kit this year but WHY would you do that, when at Glued To My Crafts we make it the EASIEST, just for you! Keep scrolling to see how we pulled this latest DIY idea together within minutes!
Super EASY Foam Santa Star Craft Idea
Want to create a unique and interesting Christmas themed piece with the kids this season?! Well… you have stumbled onto the right page today! We recently took some basic red craft foam star shapes we found at Michaels and made them into Santa pieces within minutes! From there, they can displayed as is or turned into ornaments for the tree!
And although I bought my shapes premade at Michaels {I admit, I cheated just a little there} the nice thing is, you can either cut your own star shapes at home with a cutting machine or find any star shape, at pretty much any craft store these days. The size and material of the star doesn’t matter because the inspiration below will work with ANYTHING you have in mind! Ours just happens to be a CRAFT FOAM shape! {we even did this craft with wood a few years ago!}
Anyways – I’ll let you get to the tutorial below. I know you are anxious to recreate it! So happy crafting, my friends and don’t forget to share pictures of your creations with us! You seriously make our day when you reach out with them!!! Come find us on Facebook or Instagram for easy sharing! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:
- First things first – grab all your cardstock pieces and scissors. Cut out a small circular head, a rectangular belt with square buckle and boots.
- Grab your red star shape and the school glue.
- Go ahead and start gluing your cardstock pieces in place, on the star shape. I suggest starting with the head.
- When you place the circular head piece down, on one of the tips of the star, make sure you leave some space above so it gives the look of a Santa hat. Please use our pictures for an example. From there, you will place the cardstock boots on the two other tips of the star, while the belt is in the center of the craft.
- Next, tear up a few cotton balls to glue down for his beard and hat.
- Finish off the Santa Star Craft by gluing on some wiggle eyes on and drawing on a nose with the black Sharpie marker. Add other embellishments you see fit and display!
- If you would like to make this into an ornament for the tree, hole punch the top of the Santa piece and string some ribbon through it!
