This Santa Claus can be used to decorate your plants or as a package topper for a Christmas present. This project is recommended for children grades 5 or above because of the difficulty level. The project takes about 1-2 hours  to complete. If you do not have all of the recommended supplies, be creative. Look around your house! Many things can be replaced with other items in your craft supplies box or within your home.
