When we think of Christmas, we inevitably think of the jolliest man in town, Santa Claus. Not only does Santa direct a sleigh full of reindeer through the night before Christmas, but also brings all the good little girls and boys gifts that he puts under the tree before they wake. In this collection, 15 Cheerfully Clever Santa Crafts, we have rounded up the most innovative and unexpected Santa Claus crafts imaginable. Pay homage to our favorite Christmas character by making some of these Christmas crafts for your home. We have Santa crafts for adults as well as kids, so everyone will find a Santa-centric craft to make.

If you love unique Christmas crafts, then you will fall head over heels for these out of the box ideas. How about a Santa’s belly wreath? What about a cute Santa Claus made from a milk jug? We even have some free printables, fabric, painting, and crochet projects. There are vintage and modern takes on Santa, as well as cultural interpretations of the big man himself. No matter which of these Santa craft ideas you decide to use, make sure you get to bed early on Christmas Eve so that Santa can slide down your chimney and drop off his gifts. We’re sure that he will appreciate seeing himself in your crafting creations.
