Make this Santa cam ornament and get your kids to behave all through the holidays.
My kids still believe in Santa. This is great because it means I can threaten them with Santa not bringing them gifts if they don’t behave.
Now, my understanding is Santa expects you to behave all year round but I’m luck if I can get my kids on board with this for a couple of months. If I start any earlier than October with the Santa Cam, it just wears out its effect.
This Santa Cam is pretty easy to make. The easiest material to work with the vinyl. You can put the vinyl cutouts on any blank.
I find it is easiest to have the Santa Cam as an ornament. That way it hangs and is front and center in our main family hang out space.

Materials for Santa cam ornament
Wood round blanks – There are the unfinished wood blanks and then there is the smoother wood rounds.
Plastic bulbs – I like the flatter clear plastic ornament blanks for projects with vinyl. It is much easier to apply the vinyl without creases.
Acrylic Discs– These clear plastic discs look pretty cool too for a Santa cam
Cutting Machine – I use a Cricut. Check out my recommendations for Cricut machines and accessories for beginners for more info.
Template – This free Santa web cam template is available in my free resources library.
How to make a Santa cam
It really can’t get any easier than this.
First cut out your vinyl piece. I use my Cricut cutting machine. For vinyl sheets, I like to use the light grip mat. The standard grip mats are super sticky these days for some reason and I avoid them if I can.
This particular design is pretty straight forward so you can just peel and stick. Otherwise, you can always use some transfer paper to align the pieces before doing a final transfer onto the ornament blank.
