Craft Stick / Popsicle Stick Santa Claus

Have the children been good this year? Santa is waiting for the day of his special appearance! This Santa Claus craft stick makes a nice tree decoration and kids will have fun making him. It has a few more details than the Popsicle Stick Reindeer or the Popsicle Stick Snowman but he is worth the time and effort put into the project!
