Materials

  • 9 oz. clear plastic cup
  • Red tissue paper
  • 1 small piece of tissue paper (any color) to create the boot “toe”
  • Black ribbon
  • Glittery yellow adhesive foam sheet (or plain yellow foam + glue)
  • Scissors
  • Glue My favorite crafting glue is Beacon 3-in-1 - I use it for all of my crafts.
  • Candy, gift cards, small toys, or other fillers

Instructions

  • Create the Boot Toe

    Start by taking a small piece of tissue paper and balling it up.Glue the ball to the outside of the cup, toward the lower front.This creates the rounded, lifted “toe” that makes the cup look like a Santa boot.

  • Wrap the Cup in Red Tissue Paper

    Next, tuck a piece of red tissue paper inside the cup and fold the edges down around the outside.Smooth it out so the entire cup is covered, including over the bump you created.
    This becomes Santa’s classic red boot.

  • Add Santa’s Belt

    Wrap a piece of black ribbon around the cup—right over the bump created by the balled tissue paper—and secure it in the back.You can tie it in a small knot or glue it into place.
    This makes the belt sit in the perfect spot to mimic Santa’s iconic outfit.

  • Attach the Belt Buckle

    Cut a small square of glittery yellow adhesive foam and stick it right on the front, centered over the ribbon.
    Instant Santa buckle!
  • Fill with gifts.
