Log Santa Craft
Log Santas are easy to make and add a cute rustic touch to your porch, near your fireplace, or on a shelf. This is a fun Christmas craft for adults you can complete in under an hour.
Equipment
- Miter Saw
Ingredients
- Birch Logs or other thin logs or thick branches
- Acrylic Paint red and white
- Small Paintbrush
- Black Sharpie
Instructions
- Cut logs to various heights. Cut the top edge of each log at a 45 degree angle.
- The angled cut edge will be the face. Using white paint, paint a beard in the lower third.
- Add hair in the upper third of the face if desired. Allow the white paint to dry thoroughly, using a hair dryer to speed dry time if desired. Add a second coat if needed.
- Use the red paint to create a hat in the upper third of the log face. You will likely need three coats of red paint for good coverage. Use a Sharpie to dot on eyes.
- Display the Santas in a group, tying them together with Christmas ribbon if desired.
