10 Craft Ideas to do With Santa Hat Coloring Pages
Once those vibrant red and white coloring pages start piling up, don't just stack them away—turn them into festive holiday keepsakes with these cheap and easy crafts.
1. Bobbing Santa Hat Headband
Cut out the colored Santa hat and glue it to a piece of sturdy poster board for support. Use hot glue to attach a bouncy red pipe cleaner to the back of the hat, then wrap the other end around a plastic headband. Glue a real cotton ball to the page's pom-pom so it bounces playfully when worn.
2. Festive Cutlery Pocket
Cut out the colored Santa hat and glue only the left, right, and bottom-point edges to a sheet of green cardstock, leaving the wide white brim unglued to form a pocket. Once dry, slip holiday napkins and red plastic utensils inside the brim opening. It makes a charming, themed placeholder for your Christmas dinner table.
3. Peek-a-Boo Chimney Puppet
Glue your colored Santa hat to a wooden popsicle stick. Next, roll a sheet of green construction paper into a cylinder and tape it to act as a “chimney.” Slide the stick through the cylinder so kids can slide the Santa hat up and down, making it pop out of the chimney.
4. Stained Glass Window Cling
Cut out the colored Santa hat, then carefully cut away the inner red portion, leaving just the outline. Place the outline onto clear contact paper, fill the empty center with red tissue paper squares, and seal it with another layer of contact paper. Hang it on a sunny window to watch the iconic red hat glow.
5. Advent Countdown Calendar
Mount your finished Santa hat coloring page onto a large piece of blue poster board. Write the numbers 1 through 25 across the white brim and the fluffy pom-pom of the hat. Each day in December, have your child glue a fluffy white cotton ball over the corresponding number until Santa's hat is fully fluffed for Christmas Eve.
6. Pop-Up Holiday Greeting Card
Fold a piece of heavy green cardstock in half to create a card base. Cut out the colored Santa hat, fold it vertically down the middle, and glue the outer edges to the inside fold of the card. When the recipient opens the card, the conical red hat will pop out in 3D holiday style.
7. Textured Hat Garland
Color and cut out several Santa hat pages, then glue real white cotton batting or fleece scraps over the printed brim and pom-pom sections for a cozy, 3D texture. Punch a hole through the top of each pom-pom and thread a long piece of red yarn through them. Hang your custom garland across the mantel or classroom whiteboard.
8. Ring Toss Hat Game
Glue your cut-out Santa hat to a heavy paper plate, then tape a sturdy cardboard paper towel tube vertically behind the hat's pointed peak. Secure the plate to a flat surface and fashion rings out of twisted red and white pipe cleaners. Kids can take turns trying to toss the holiday rings onto the pointed tip of the Santa hat.
9. Santa Hat Treat Cone
Cut out the colored Santa hat page and roll it into a 3D cone shape, securing the seam with double-sided tape so the point is at the bottom. Staple a red ribbon loop to the inner rim so it can hang from a tree branch. Fill the hollow cone with wrapped holiday candies and top it off by gluing a large white pom-pom to the pointed tip.
10. Poinsettia Pot Wrap
Cut out the colored Santa hat and laminate it or cover it in clear packing tape to protect it from moisture. Wrap the page around a small terra cotta flower pot containing a holiday poinsettia, securing the ends with strong glue. The white brim sits beautifully at the base of the pot, transforming plain planter pots into festive holiday decor.
