Making a Santa Gift Box

Craft a Santa box for gift giving, decor, or as an ornament. It is so cute!

with CutCardStock

It is so fun to craft for the holidays. I am such a Santa fan so I made this Santa gift box. You can fill it with a gift or sweets. Add a ribbon and hang it on your tree for an ornament. It can also be used as a decor piece.

I created this free SVG file to share with you as a part of the CutCardStock design team.

The card stock used for the Santa Box is Habanero and is weighted at 80# cover. I also used Basis in white and pink.

Using a Cricut Maker, I cut and scored the card stock.

Fold the large red shape on all the score lines, folding them in the same direction. Once done, glue the tab to form the box. I used tacky glue.

Glue the facial pieces onto the box. I chose to antique them beforehand using Distress Oxide ink in Vintage Photo. I also used pink chalk to create rosy cheeks. The mustache was placed using foam tape to show the difference from the beard.
