How to Make a Handprint Santa Christmas Card

If you're looking for an original Christmas card idea, this one is for you. Handprint Santa cards for children are always fun--not to mention, you can always remember how small your little one's hand was as he grows as the years pass by.

Things You'll Need

• Red construction paper
• White contruction paper
• Paper (optional)
• Pencil
• Black marker
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Take an 8 1/2-by-11 inch sheet of paper and fold it in half. Next, with your white sheet of paper, cut out a circle. With a black marker, draw a face on that circle: two eyes, a nose and a mustache.

2. Take the face you've drawn and attach it on the front of the card.
   With your red sheet of paper, cut a red triangle. This will be his hat. Cut out a thin rectangular shape (brim) as well. Also, with the remaining white paper, cut out a small circle to attach to the end of his hat.

3. Attach the triangle portion of the hat first, followed with the brim and then the small circle, which will serve as the cotton ball to the end of his hat.

4. With another white sheet of paper, trace your hand over it and cut out your handprint. Take your handprint, turn it upside down and glue it below Santa's mouth to create his beard and your card is done.
