A darling paper Santa craft made from copy paper! Stands on its own and comes together in just a few minutes with our printable template. The perfect holiday kids craft!

This post was originally shared in 2016 with my friends on Little Passports, and has been updated with a step by step video. You might also like our deluxe candy trains or thumbprint Grinch ornaments!

I just can’t get over how cute these paper Santa cones are. We used craft paper, a coupe of pom poms and craft eyes. I love that it is easy enough for kids to make, and a decoration that you can leave out all season long.

These paper Santas come together in under 5 minutes. My kind of kids craft.

What other kinds of paper work well for paper Santas?

We’ve used origami paper in the past. It’s thin, easy to work with, and comes in bold colors! Card stock is thicker and would be harder to bend, but you could definitely use it as well.
