DIY Starfish Santa Craft

DIY Starfish Santa Craft

Craft Materials

Before starting this project, you’ll need the following materials:

Paint, Starfish

Today’s project is one that I’ve been wanting to do for awhile now.  A Starfish Santa Craft!  I know this is a craft that has been done a TON of times, but I really wanted to share it with my followers with an easy to follow tutorial.

I made this Santa craft but it’s totally a craft the kids can make too.  As long as you wait until each paint color dries completely your set!  It’s such a simple Christmas craft you can have done in no time!  I think I’ll need to make a snowman next to go with our Santa craft.

SANTA CRAFT

Gather up all your materials for this craft. I have a TON of starfish on hand, I just needed to look for the perfect paint colors.

So let’s get crafting!

Santa-Craft-1

Step 1 – Paint on Santa’s Suit

I found the perfect color of red for my Santa’s suit.  This color covers well so you will only need one coat.  Let dry 20 minutes.

 Step 2 – Paint Fur

Let’s add the white part now.  You need to make sure the red is 100% dry or your white and red will mix and start looking pink-ish.

Step 3 – Paint in Shoes

After your white paint has dried add your Santa’s shoes.

Santa-Craft-6

 Step 4 – Add Hands and Face

I used the DecoArt warm beige for the face and hands.

With this Santa craft you can turn it into an ornament, just by glueing some thin ribbon to the top.

I have a special plan I’m doing with this guy that I will be sharing soon.  I’m really excited about it!

Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor a Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor accessories is... you guessed it, FOWERS! I have flowers all over my house, several in each room actually. I even switch them out for the seasons. One of my favorite places to find faux flower arrangements is @homegoods. They have the bet selection to choose from. 🌺🌻

One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is this light fixture I got at @worldmarket. I have been eyeing it for years, and knew when I finally decided to give my bedroom a makeover I had to have it! What a difference a light fixture can make in a room. I love just laying in bed and staring at it, kinda obsessed.

After being in our house for 7 years we finally de After being in our house for 7 years we finally decided in August to start our bedroom makeover. We've put this room off last and focused more on the other rooms in the house since we moved in. For our 20 year wedding anniversary, we decided it was time to give OUR bedroom a makeover now. I feel like it's been a long process, but I'm so happy with what's been done so far. It's so bright and airy in here now, a perfect way to relax and unwind for the day. We still need to shiplap the walls, but I wanted to share a sneak peek.
