Create a jolly Santa face on a recycled CD with this fun and easy Christmas project!
White foam sheet
Flesh tone foam sheet
Black permanent marker
Exacto knife/scissors
Hot glue and gun
Black acrylic paint
White acrylic paint
Red spray-paint
White wool
Finishing clear spray
- Begin by taking your CD and giving it a coat of red spray-paint in a well-ventilated area.
- While the CD dries, use your Exacto knife or scissors to cut out a round shape for Santa’s face and a small circle for the nose from flesh-tone foam.
- Then, use scissors to cut out the beard and mustache from white foam in the desired shapes. Take a bunch of white wool and tie it in the middle to create Santa’s fluffy hair.
- Once the CD is dry, use your marker to outline two round eyes and paint them in with white paint.
- Allow the paint to dry for about 15 minutes. Then, use black paint to outline the eyes and add a black dot to the center of each eye.
- Let the CD dry completely to avoid smearing the paint. When it’s dry, give it a coat of finishing gloss spray.
- Next, hot glue Santa’s nose, beard, mustache, and hair onto the CD to create his face.
- Cut a circle from black foam that’s larger than the CD and glue it to the back of the CD to create a clean, finished look.
- Finally, take a small loop of wool and glue it to the back of the CD to serve as a hanger.
You now have a cute and festive Santa CD that you can display and enjoy during the holiday season!
