Advanced Graphics Santa's Sleigh Life Size Cardboard Cutout Standup

Product Information

Crafting for Christmas doesn’t have to mean expensive trips to the craft store. It’s amazing what you can make from what you already have. Here is a collection of cardboard Christmas crafts and decorations made from cardboard boxes.

TIP: To scale-up the reindeer we used the “grid method” where you draw a grid over the image you want to scale-up, then draw a large grid on the cardboard then copy each square from the small grid to the large grid. It’s the easiest method to make an image larger if you don’t have use of a projector! If you’re feeling festive and looking for some little extras for your home, office, party or event, then our Christmas Cardboard Cutouts are a great place to start. Consisting of everything Wintertide to Disney Frozen fun, this lovely collection brings all things Christmassy into your décor. Our Santa themed stand-in props and life size cutouts are brilliant for bringing guests together, taking photos and providing a focal point. Our seasonal animal cutouts are perfect for a adding some wildlife to a nativity or grotto without the mess! And our scenery props are a cheap and cheerful way to complete your décor with a Christmas tree or two. Shoe boxes are a good source of non-corrugated cardboard that is stiffer than cereal boxes. You can also make fun shoebox suitcases to store your Christmas decorations for the following year. Upcycling and repurposing are my favourite ways of crafting, as they are both affordable and green. And basically, I just hate waste!From the realistic side, it is almost possible for Santa to travel around the world and share the gift by himself by only riding the sleigh. To cover a wide distance in 24 hours, it’s only possible for Santa to use relativity clouds. We used Krylon ® ColorMaster™ Paint + Primer – 25% More Gloss Cherry Red for the sleigh, so we were able to skip priming the plywood, which saved a lot of time. While we thought it would take five or more cans to cover the sleigh red, we were blown away by the fact that we only used two cans! Krylon spray paint really covers well! By using two light coats on everything, we were able to spray paint the entire sleigh and all the components in less than 20 minutes. Spray paint really is the fastest way to get the color that you want–it’s why we love it! All the sleigh components were dry to the touch within 10 minutes and hard enough to handle in one hour. Finishing Touches on Santa’s Sleigh: We started by painting the sleigh red as it was the largest surface area. As always, remember to read the spray paint label for safety and application instructions before beginning to spray paint. And of course, always spray paint in a well-ventilated area. For Christmas crafts that need thin and flexible cardboard, cereal and other food boxes are great for this.

Based on the physic, it makes him able to stretch the time like a rubber band and take months to share the gifts. However, in the human turn, it seems like only a few minutes to take. Why did Santa choose reindeer instead horses to pull the sleigh? Once we had the templates cut out, we laid them (the five reindeer, the sides of the sleigh, and the decorative scrolls) on top of the first sheet of plywood and tried to nest them together fitting as many figures on one sheet of plywood as possible. We used a permanent marker to trace the templates onto the plywood which left a nice dark mark that was easy to see when cutting the pieces out. We ended up being able to fit one sleigh side, one reindeer, and two scroll pieces on one 4×8 sheet of plywood. We marked and cut two sheets of plywood like this since we wanted our sleigh to have two sides. The third piece of plywood could only fit three more reindeer – so that’s how we ended up with five reindeer!Finally, we cut out one circle about 4” diameter to paint bright red for Rudolph’s nose–using a yogurt container top out of the recycling bin right there in the garage. Feel free to use whatever circular template you want for the desired diameter circle for Rudolph’s nose! Making the reindeer fly:

Next, we spray painted the gold decorative scrolls using Krylon ® ColorMaster™ Paint + Primer – 25% More Metallic Gold, which produced amazing results. The gold really pops against the bright red sleigh. Finally, we painted Rudolph’s nose red and screwed it in place once it dried. It was a fun playful touch to the DIY sleigh and is one of our favorite parts of the entire build! TIP: Don’t be afraid to replace the blade if it feels like it’s getting dull part way through cutting out the pieces. A new blade can make all the difference! Meanwhile, the reason of horse does not meet the criteria is due to size. Horses can reach a half-ton of weight. This animal is also tall and has a wide shoulder of around 60 inches. The horse is also great only staying in warm conditions.The figure of the Christmas celebration gives kids excitement due to his mission of delivering the gift for every kid in the world. Let’s see from the scientific side which mighty sounds make sense for everyone.
