What does Santa wear under his red coat and pants? Why, red underwear, of course! Make these adorable ornaments from felt and glue and stuff with goodies for Christmas morning!

You will need

red felt
patterns
white buttons or small pom poms
craft glue or hot glue (hot glue is recommended)
small white bow
white chenille stick or ribbon



If you make this project we'd love to see it! Just send your photos and comments to the editor and it may get published on this page!

What you do

Cut the patterns out and trace the underwear and back flap onto the red felt. Cut two of the underwear and one flap for each ornament you are making.

Cut a 2" slit in the back of ONE of the underwear. This is where you will be filling the underwear with candy or money.

Use pinking shears to cut out a small piece of material and glue the letter from the elves onto it. Glue diagonally on the front left or right side of the underwear.

Create a small coat hanger by bending a white chenille stick into shape. Insert in Santa's Undies and secure with glue. Another option is to simply glue a loop of ribbon or gold cord to the inside back of the undies for the hanger.

Fill back flap with candy or money.

Variation - Finish edges with a blanket stitch or by hand stitching for an added touch.

Santa's Underwear Tag

Dear Santa,

We looked for a stocking,
but couldn't find a spare,
so we ended up stuffing
your red underwear.
