You Will Need
Instructions 1. To make the base, hot glue floral foam, pot and cardboard
tube together as shown in photo 1. 1. 2. Use tape to wrap the cardboard tube with the wrapping paper scrap. Make sure to fold over the edge of the paper for a crisp, clean line. 2.
3. Wrap flower pot base with Christmas drape to replicate snow and use hot glue to secure. If you don't have Christmas drape you could also use tissue paper, fabric and/or garland. 4. Photo 4 shows a close up of the wrapped pot. 3. 5. Hot glue plastic ornament to top of pole. 5. 6. Gather extra decorations you have hanging around that match the color scheme of your North Pole sign.
7. Attach decorative touches with hot glue. 7.
8. Make the flag. We printed 2 pieces of sign artwork so you could see it from all angles. Click the links below for North Pole sign artwork. Print both then cut a flag show from your paper pieces. Glue the two pieces together, leaving about a 1/2 inch margin on the sides that attach to the pole. Fold the margin pieces outward, apply hot glue and attach the flag to the pole. Congratulations, your North Pole Christmas decoration is now complete!

If
you purchased a North Pole decoration at a Christmas shop it would run you around
$50.00. Lisa Dodez's creative version will cost pennies (she even uses items that
might otherwise be discarded) and is very easy to make.
