Instructions
PREP WORK
- The first thing I did was create the design and cut file for the HO HO HO words.
- In this case, it was a super easy design since I used an H and an O, weld them together, and then duplicated it to make 3 HOs.
- Print some lovely patterned papers or chose your favorite scrapbook papers. Mines are from Sherry K Designs.

- Cut the HO HO HO with the Silhouette or print it 3 times and cut it with scissors or a cutter.
CREATE THE 3-HO
- Apply mod podge on the foam board and carefully place each HO on top. Ise your scrapper to remove any bubbles. Then apply another coat on top of the paper and let it dry.
- Carefully cut with a cutter the foam board around each Ho Ho Ho.
- cutting the letters with a cutter
- Then start cutting each HO detail very carefully.
- This part is a little bit tricky even though the foam board is so soft and light. You need to apply some strength carefully, especially on the rounded edges.
- Once you finish all 3 HOs, use white glue on the edges of each HO to apply some gold glitter and hide the foam board’s ugly side.
- You can also use mod podge, I used white glue because it was easier to apply.
- Let it dry for about 2 hours.
TIME TO ASSEMBLE THE DOO HANGER
- Make a composition with all 3 HOs and glued them with UHU or Hot Glue gun and let it dry well.
- I placed one on top of the other two and all in different levels.
- Once it’s dry and strong enough, make a couple of small holes on one of the HOs (the one that would be at the top) to insert the satin ribbon to hang the Ho Ho Ho.
- Make a knot to each ribbon end on the back side.
- Optionally, make a cute ribbon bow to hide the holes. Here you can also use other types of decor like snowflakes, rhinestones, buttons, etc.
- Glue it exactly on top of the hole and ribbon with hot glue.
- The final touch was adding some Christmas ornaments on the hanger. Tadaaaaa…
- It’s done! Now let’s hang it on the door!
