Make this adorable Easy Santa Letter Holder in just minutes with this super quick tutorial. The perfect Christmas decoration to add to your house!

Child's hand inserting letter into a metal Santa Letter Holder that says "Dear Santa" in the front.

I found these metal envelope wall hangings in the dollar section of Target during the summer. I believe they were part of the “Back To School” roll out but I knew exactly what I wanted to use it for…a Santa Letter Holder!

You probably won’t be able to find the exact same metal envelope at Target right now. *insert sad face* You can either file this tutorial away for next year or I found a similar one on Amazon

Total Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 1 Letter Holder
Author: Vanessa Brady
Cost: $10.00

Supplies:

Instructions

  • Gather the supplies listed above. You can use the bright glitter vinyl colors I chose for this example or go classic with red/green holly. I love the look of glitter vinyl but you could also do standard vinyl or even flocked!
  • Cut the pieces out of each color with your Cricut Explore Air 2. Use transfer paper to consolidate the pieces onto one sheet to transfer all at one time.
  • Place word transfer in the center of the metal envelope and press with scraper. Continue applying vinyl holly to outer corners and top.
  • Once all the vinyl is place, all you have to do now is hang the Santa Letter Holder in a place that your kids can easily reach!

Enjoy Your Santa Letter Holder

How amazingly easy was that? Honestly, the reason this project only takes a few minutes to make is because the image file already existed in Cricut Design Space. All I had to do was type in “Dear Santa” and this awesome file popped up!

Can you imagine how much longer this would have taken if I had to design it?

Highly suggest checking out a yearly subscription to Cricut Access! For less than $100 dollars, you get access to 400 awesome fonts and over 100,000 images. Such a great deal that will save you so much time!

Other than my Cricut Explore Air 2,
Cricut Access is my MOST used Cricut product!
