DIY Santa Claus Picture

All month I’ve been wanting to make some sort of DIY Santa Claus artwork. At first I thought I’d do something with pallets, but never got around to grabbing an old pallet from work. But then I remembered I had this 1980’s print hanging around and decided to transform it into this DIY Santa Claus picture.

2. Tear out book pages being sure to the leave all edges a little ragged.

3. Mod Podge the pages over the existing print, laying pages in different directions.

4. Using Mod Podge again, apply a vintage Santa graphic atop the book pages, smoothing out wrinkles.

  1. I love this, Jennifer! Such a great Santa image and I love how you used the glitter to embellish the smoke from the pipe and Santa himself. Love the book page background. I may just have to copy this! I think I have what I need already here to do it {except the Santa image, which I can probably find online}.

    Merry Christmas! : )
