Last Minute Christmas Crafts: Santa Gift Pails

Are you rushing around trying to figure out a few last minute gifts for those on your list?  I have a great solution for you!  Decorate a small storage pail then add candy, cookies, or any small item to make these quick and easy Santa Christmas crafts.  These cute Christmas crafts take minutes to assemble but will make your recipient “Ho Ho Ho” in appreciation.

Supplies needed to make your own Santa gift Christmas crafts:

• Small Storage Pail
• Square Rhinestone Sliders
• 5/8″ Black Poly Satin Ribbon
• Red Glitter Paper
• Red and White Polka Dot Washi Tape
• David Tutera Celebrate Labels
• Red Sharpie Marker
• Hot Glue Gun

Cut a piece of ribbon long enough to wrap around the circumference of the pail. Thread the rhinestone slider buckle with the ribbon then wrap around the pail.  Secure the ribbon ends with a dot of hot glue.

Add a label to the top of the pail with the red and white polka dot washi tape. Write your To: and From: on the label tag.

Fill your Santa Christmas crafts pails with the contents of your choice. I simply added an assortment of red candy to one pail – and that gift is done!

For the other pail, I a cut piece of red glitter scrapbook paper and placed it in the inside of the can.  After the red paper is in place, add your gift and you are done.

Your gift recipient will enjoy the fun gift inside these Christmas crafts and then be able to use them for storage long after the holiday season.

Give these quick and easy Santa gift pails to all of those on your Christmas gift giving list.
