Download the free Santa Claus craft template, print, and cut out the pieces.

Begin by gluing the bottom of Santa’s hat to the red base.

Next, glue the hat puff to the tip of the hat.

Place the cream face piece at the top of the center circle of the paper plate and glue it in place.

Put the tongue piece on the bottom of the black mouth and glue it down. Cut off any excess.

Position the mouth towards the bottom of the inner circle of the paper plate and glue.

Glue the eyebrows towards the top of the cream face piece.

Place the white paper mustache on the paper plate so it covers the bottom of the cream face and glue it in place.

Use a circle punch or scissors to cut out a small pink nose for Santa. Glue in the middle of the mustache, where it dips in the center.

Now, use the black marker to draw eyes on Santa’s face. 

Use the scissors to cut a few slits on the top of the paper plate. This is to help flatten the plate and make it easier to secure the hat.

Finish off by placing the hat shape on the top, then flip the plate over (holding the hat in place) and secure it with tape on the back of the paper plate.
