Another project that we did at Craft Day was Santa's Magic Key. This was a great idea that I found here (free printable too!). It's something fun to hang on your doorknob for the kids to get excited about Santa coming.
The card says: "It's the night before Christmas, and we're excited as can be. We're leaving this out for you...it's a very special key. You can shimmy down the chimney or tiptoe through the door. Just use this key we left for you to find cookies, milk, & more!"
Gather your supplies:
Keys (found at Michael's and Hobby Lobby)
Red cardstock
White cardstock
Ribbon
Distress Ink Pad
Sponge (a makeup sponge will work great)
Print the Santa's Key printable on white cardstock and cut out. Using a small makeup sponge (can be picked up for $1 for a pack of them at most drugstores), stamp ink from the Distress Ink pad around the edges of the white cardstock. This gives it an aged look.
Place your white cardstock onto red cardstock and adhere using a gluestick or ModPodge. Cut out red cardstock a little larger than the white cardstock.
Punch a hole in the end of your Santa's Key card. Take your key and string the ribbon through it and the hole in the Santa's Key card. Tie a knot to secure the key, then tie a bow at the end to sit above your doorknob.
Hang on your doorknob and get ready for Santa to come!
