What you will need:

1 sheet of red cardstock (this is a great pack of cardstock)
1 sheet of white cardstock
Pencil
Scissors
Tacky Glue (Elmer’s Glue, or any other adhesive glue would work as well)
1 small white craft pom pom (Grab them from the Dollar Tree site here)
A small plastic dinosaur (here is the Dollar Tree version)
1 mini bottle tree
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Sparkly pipe cleaner (silver, gold, red or green)
4 small craft pom poms (I used red, green, and white)
Mason Jar shaped DIY ornament (Here is the Dollar Tree version of this mason jar ornament)
Package of faux snow (Here is the Dollar Tree version of the faux snow)
Red and green satin ribbon (Dollar Tree Satin Ribbon)

How to make the Dollar Tree Santa Dinosaur Ornament:

1. Place the bottle of tacky glue on the edge of the red cardstock, with half the bottle on, and half off. Trace the semi-circle shape onto the cardstock with a pencil. (You could also trace any other circular shape that is approximately 1 ½” in diameter).

2. Using scissors, cut out the red semi-circle.

Place the red semi-circle onto the white cardstock, and trace the semi-circle again. Cut out the white semi-circle, and then cut another semi-circle within the white, leaving you with an approximately ¼” rainbow shape.

Fold the red semi-circle into a cone shape, and apply tacky glue to the seam to seal. Apply tacky glue to the bottom border of the cone, and wrap the white rainbow shaped strip around.

Hot glue one small white pom pom to the top of the cone to complete your Santa hat.

Hot glue the Santa hat to the dinosaur’s head. Next, hot glue the mini tree to the inside of the ornament lid, and hot glue the dinosaur’s feet diagonal to the tree.

Cut a piece of pipe cleaner approximately 1 ½” long. Bend into a slight curve, and hot glue pom poms to the pipe cleaner in alternating colors of red, green, and white. Apply hot glue to the ends of the pipe cleaner, and attach to the inside top of the ornament. (I found it easiest to hold the pipe cleaner between my pointer and middle finger to slide into the ornament.

Turn the ornament upside down, and pour in faux snow. Screw the lid onto the ornament.

Cut a piece of green and red ribbon approximately 12” long. Thread through the ornament hook, and tie in a bow.

Isn’t this the cutest ornament ever?
