DIY Simple Santa Claus Door Hanger
If you’re not familiar with door hangers, they’re a cardboard or a plastic sign that hang on the door knob of the door.
This is commonly seen in hotels and other residences and is meant to inform or communicate with the housekeeping or the maintenance of the area.
Door hangers can also be used in homes, especially if you are working on something and don’t want to be bothered at all.
At certain times, we just use door hangers to decorate our plain doors or just want to see our favorite cartoon character or theme.

Or if you want minimal decorations in your office, then this Santa Claus craft could be a great addition to your office door.
So let us begin making this cool door hanger!
Materials for Santa Claus Craft:
- a piece of cereal box
- a piece of black crafting felt
- black and white acrylic paint
- red glitters
- paint brushes
- cutter
- newspaper
- a pair of scissors
- a pencil
- white glue
- hot glue
- any round object that is near the size of the door knob
Step 1: Cut a rectangle that is about 22 centimeter in length and 10 centimeters in width from the empty cereal box.
This will be the main frame of the door hanger.
Trace the masking tape on the upper part of the box.
The orientation of this should be in portrait.
The masking tape is used as a reference to the door knob size, but any perfect round object would do.

Step 7: Let the glue dry and the glitters to settle on the body of the door hanger for at least an hour.
Step 8: Cut a small strip of black felt.
The width should be at least 2 to 3 centimeters and the length would depend on the width of the door hanger’s body.
This is the belt of Santa.
Step 9: Cut a small square that is quite bigger than the belt.
Cut a smaller square in the middle to create a hole.
This will be the belt’s buckle.
Step 10: Mix white and a little bit of black to create a gray acrylic paint.
Paint the buckle with this and let it dry for an hour.
