Santa Ornaments How-To Video

If you like to see crafts in action, you can see exactly how I made my version in the quick video below:

TIP: For the eyes, you can actually use the wrong side of the paintbrush. This technique will give you a circle without really any effort.

If you can’t (or don’t want to) watch the video, the process is nice and simple for these ornaments. Paint the top of the wood slice red. Paint the bottom white. Leave the middle wood tone.

Add the eyes with black craft paint. Use a hot glue gun to add the red pom pom nose.
