Kids will have fun making this project on a cold December afternoon. This cute and fluffy Santa would be pleased to become a part of your Christmas decorations - whether as a table decoration, or high up on a shelf. It does not require a lot of time to craft this project, just a little patience waiting for the glue to dry.

Instructions:
1. Follow the instructions here “How to Make a Pom-Pom” to make the Santa body. The body here is 5 centimeters big.
2. To create the hat, use the CD and trace onto red felt. Cut the circle out and then cut it in half. Take the half and fold it over matching the straight edges until a hat shape is created. Glue the straight edge and let dry. When dry, glue to the top of the wooden bead.
3. Glue the wooden bead to the pom-pom and let it dry thoroughly.
4. Dot on the eyes, glue the red half bead on for the nose and glue on a small piece of batting for the beard.
