Instructions

  • Download the template, print it, and cut out the pieces you need.
  • Start by gluing the hat fluff along the bottom of the triangle hat, then glue the pom to the top point.
  • Once the hat is ready, glue the face onto the top section of the beard piece, above the mouth.
  • Add the eyes above the mouth and glue them in place.
  • Optionally, use scissors to cut vertical strips along the bottom of Santa's beard.
  • Glue the hat to the top of Santa's head.
  • Use a marker to draw the nose below the eyes.
  • Move on to the suit by gluing the buckle in the center of the belt.
  • Next, glue Santa’s head onto the top of the suit.
  • Glue the legs to the back and bottom of the suit.
  • Now, glue the suit fluff onto the bottom of the suit.
  • Take the suit arms and glue them to the back and middle of Santa's body.
  • Place the hands on the back of each arm and glue them in place.
  • Finish by gluing the arm fluff on both sides, where the suit and hands meet.
