Watch video tutorial.
Bend the top half of a red tinsel tree to look like a santa hat shape.
Stick a large white styrofoam ball on the top tip of the tree to appear as the white ball sloping down from Santa's hat.
Use cotton batting and wrap the bottom branches a width enough to look like the white band around a Santa hat.
Use flesh color fabric over cotton batting and shape out a nose, and cheeks.
Cut out 2 circles from self-adhesive craft foam paper for eyes.
Stick blue circles above checks for eye area.
Place styrofoam rings over blue circles to look like the white part in Santa's eyes.
Paint two small foam balls black and place them in the foam ring to look like the pupils .
Shape out a beard using cotton batting and tuck it under santa's face. Shape out a mustache using Halloween spiderweb. Lasty, use a little bit of flesh color fabric and put a bottom lip under mustache.
