Stuck Santa DIY White Elephant Gift

White elephant holiday parties are always kinda tricky, especially if they’re work or business related. You want to make sure your gift is humorous and fun but still a little bit practical all at the same time. That’s why this Stuck Santa DIY white elephant gift is just so perfect! You’ve got the whimsical/tacky look of Santa stuck in a chimney but you can also fill it with wine or candy to enjoy. It’s a win/win all around!

Stuck Santa DIY White Elephant Gift Supplies:

  • Darice Paper Mache Wine Box
  • Darice Plastic Santa Doll
  • Adhesive
  • Black Paint
  • Red & White Felt
  • Darice Glue Gun
  • Brick Scrapbook Paper

Step 1. To begin your DIY white elephant gift, cover the wine box and lid with the brick scrapbook paper. I used a combination of spray and stick adhesive. Leave a blank square open on the top of the lid and paint black to resemble the inside of the chimney.

Step 5. Glue both legs in place in the center of the “chimney.”

I love that this DIY white elephant gift is just silly enough to make everyone laugh but is still totally practical. Who wouldn’t love to see Santa stuck in a chimney and then open the surprise to get some tasty treats?

Hope you have fun making this Stuck Santa white elephant gift!
