Santa Magnet
Instructions to make a magnet out a juice can lid that looks like Santa's face.

Materials Needed:

  • Juice Can Lid
  • Felt (peach, red, white)
  • White Curling Ribbon
  • Marker
  • Magent
  • Glue
Instructions:
Trace around the juice can lid onto the peach colored felt; cut it out. Cut out a santa hat using the red and white felt.

Cut 10 pieces of curling ribbon, each one about 8 inches long. Using the edge of your scissor or a butter knife, run it down the ribbon to curl it. This will be Santa's beard. Glue the curls around the edge of the juice can lid so the curls hang over the side. Glue the curls around about half the juice can lid.

Glue the peach colored felt onto the juice can lid to cover the ends of the curling ribbon. Glue santa's hat onto the juice can lid opposite of the curling ribbon beard. Glue the magnet to the back of the juice can lid.

Use the marker to draw santa's eyes, nose, and mouth. You can also cut these features out of felt and glue them on.
