I’ve made my list and I’ve checked it twice, and these six Santa crafts are definitely on the “nice” list. Each Santa Claus craft uses a different technique so there’s something for everyone and no one needs to pout. You can make a felt Santa, fabric Santa, paper Santa, air-dry clay Santa and even a birch bark Santa. Click on any of the photos for the project instructions.

One of my favorites is the all-white Crystal Santa by Debra Quartermain. Debra’s Crystal Santa is made from paper and is trimmed in feathers and snowflakes.

The Scandinavian Felt Santa & Elf have an old world charm and are designed by Kathleen George. Since they’re made with felt and glued rather than sewn, you really can make this Santa in an afternoon.

I feel calmer every time I look at the Birch Bark Father Christmas. Clad in birch bark and trimmed in moss, this woodland Santa could tame a deer – or soothe frantic Christmas spirits.

If you’re looking to craft an heirloom Santa, this Round & Jolly Folk Art Santa made with air-dry clay is one to treasure. I’ve seen similar Santas in catalogs for big bucks, so hang onto your cash and DIY this one!

Here is one more favorite of mine – Sleepy Santa by Debra Quartermain. I imagine this is how Santa looks after pulling an all-nighter delivering all those toys. He’s tired, clutching a cup of coffee, and dressed in his robe, striped PJs & reindeer slippers!
