This Santa gourd scene is a simple holiday decoration made from a small gourd. An opening cut in the “bowl” of the gourd shows off a painted plaster Santa with two children and his pack of toys. The inside of the gourd surrounding this trio is painted white and is sealed with acrylic.

The outside is painted with green glitter paint that allows the darker markings of the gourd to lightly show through and is also sealed with acrylic. The bottom of this gourd is rounded and would not sit properly, so I attached three little rounded legs to the bottom so it would.

This holiday decoration gourd is over 9” tall with the stem, 7” tall not counting the stem, and the bowl part that holds the figures is about 4 ½ ” tall. The bowl measures about 14” around.

The Santa gourd scene is very lightweight, weighing just over 3 ounces. This cute little holiday decoration is truly one of a kind and won’t take up much space at home or at work or wherever you care to display it during the holidays.
