A guide to making Christmas decor as easy as pie
- Cut a triangle that tapers towards the top from a 15 x 15 cm piece of red colored paper. This represents the body of Santa Claus.
- Cut a circle out of pink paper for the face and paint on the eyes, nose and mouth. Place the face on the body in such a way that a sufficiently large point of the red paper still peeks out as a Santa hat.
- Glue some cotton wool above and below the face as Santa's beard and hair. At the bottom of the triangle, too, a thin strip of wadding forms the end of the Santa Claus coat.
- Draw a Santa Claus stick on colored golden paper and cut it out. Glue the stick at a slight angle in front of Santa's stomach. Your simple Christmas decor is ready.
If you would like to design more elaborate Christmas decorations, you will find numerous instructions for various Santa Clauses made of cardboard or colored paper in handicraft books or on the Internet. Select the most beautiful motifs and make other Santa Clauses for every purpose.
