Wine Cork Santa Claus

Santa Hat

Witch Hat 1 200

Witch Hat 2 200

1. The Santa hat requires a cone shape and a circle.

2. Use a stylus to mark an inner circle on the circle piece. Cut a pie shape within this inner circle of which all 8 triangles are the same size. Take the stylus and score the space between the “pie” pieces...

 

 

Witch Hat 3 200

Witch Hat 4 200

3. ...and then bend the “pie” pieces upwards.

4. Place glue on the outside of the pieces and then place the cone shape over these. Press these pieces inside of the cone and let dry.

 

 

Witch Hat 5 200

 

5. This is how the finished hat looks and is ready to use for the fairy, Santa or witch.

 

Instructions:

1. Paint the cork red and set aside to dry.
2. Paint the styrofoam or paper ball in flesh color and set aside to dry.
3. Create a Santa hat by following the instructions below in the step-by-step pictures. Wrap white chenill around the brim of the hat when it is dry and a small white pom pom on hte top of the hat.
4. Glue the wiggly eyes on the face.
5. Be careful for this step. Use scissors and “cut” the wooden ball in half. This is done by placing the scissors over the middle over the hole and pressing down. This will split the wooden ball in half.
6. Paint the wooden ball with the flesh color and set aside to dry.
7. Dry brush the cheeks with pink paint. This is done by dipping a stiff brush in the paint and wiping the paint off onto a paper towel until almost no more paint comes off the brush. Then pounce the brush onto the cheeks. Continue until the intensity you want  is achieved.
8. Glue the head onto the body body.
9. Glue one white feather onto the side of the face so that the soft part of the feather is facing down. Cut away excess feather at the top of the head.
10. Now do the same with the second feather.
11. Glue on a feather as a beard.
12. Glue the hat onto the head.
13. Glue the nose onto the face.
