Anybody who knows anything about Santa Claus knows that he's got an eye on us all these days. As any small child will tell you, Santa knows who is being naughty and who is being nice. But if the people in your life need a little reminding (or if you just want to have some fun), why not let them know when they are being "Naughty" or "Nice" with cute little tickets?

We made this super easy for you to create your own, too. Just download our free Naughty and Nice tickets template and print them onto regular paper.

Once you cut the tickets apart, they are ready to hand out. So how do you use these tickets? Well, you may come up with your own ideas, but here are my two favorite ways:

As incentives for kids: When your kids are acting up, a "Naughty" ticket is a sure-fire way to remind them, in a tangible way, that Santa is watching. And when they are behaving well, a "Nice" ticket is such a wonderful way to let them know they're being good.

To strangers you meet: You know how crazy and rushed the stores and streets are right now with all the shopping frenzy? And how a kind gesture from a stranger can really make your day? Well, the next time you get good service in a store, or someone helps you with a door, or you get a warm holiday greeting from a stranger, reward that person with a "Nice" ticket. I guarantee you will cheer yourself up as much as you do them. I do NOT recommend handing out "Naughty" tickets to strangers, though. You'll just ruin everyone's day! But keep the "Naughty" tickets with you, for humor's sake. They make the "Nice" tickets funnier, and "Nice" folks will think they are a riot.

If you want to make your tickets easier to keep together in your purse or pocket, why not turn them into a notepad? Just follow our directions for making notepads and you'll end up with a super cute pad. Put the "Nice" tickets one one side and the "Naughty" on the other, and you're guaranteed to have fun tearing off them off to hand out.

    Cah-ute idea! Dumb question: where do you get padding compound. I've seen notepads done w/silicone sealer. Have you tried that? Would love to make some.

    Thanks Colleen! Padding compound is available at printer supply companies, but is usually sold in very large quantities (like quarts or gallons), which is way more than a typical crafter would need. However, we sell it in a convenient 2oz size on Amazon.
