Materials Needed for Your Santa treat box
To craft this festive box, gather the following supplies:
Cutting Machine: A Cricut or other compatible cutting machine for precise cuts.
Cardstock: Choose cardstock in your preferred colours. I used red, white, black, a skin tone, and brown colours, at 216 gsm in weight.
Cutting Mat: Use a StandardGrip mat to hold your cardstock while cutting.
Glue: I prefer using glue with a fine-tip applicator for precise, clean application.
These essentials will help you create a beautiful holiday card ready to share with loved ones!

Attach Santa’s beard and the pom-pom on his hat with glue, positioning them as shown in the photo.
Glue the skin-tone card stock for Santa's face in place, aligning it carefully with the design.
Glue the next section of Santa’s hair and his mustache in place, following the alignment shown in the photo.
Glue the remaining white card stock pieces in place, including the hat trim, sleeve trims, and mustache, ensuring they align as shown in the photo.
Once the glue is dry, carefully fold the design along the perforated lines.
Apply glue to the top two tabs, as indicated in the photo, ensuring they are evenly covered.
Fold the tabs upwards and stick them to Santa's body, aligning them as shown in the photo.
Apply glue to the remaining two tabs, as shown in the photo, ensuring even coverage.
Fold up the remaining flap of the box, securing it into place, as shown in this photo.
Now, let's create the belt. Glue the buckle onto the belt, positioning it neatly in the center.
Now, glue the belt and feet onto the box, following the placement shown in the photo. Once everything is secured, your project is complete! Fill your Santa treat box with sweets or other festive goodies to enjoy.
