Paper Plate Santa

Glue the hat, eyes, nose and mouth into place. Allow to dry.
While this is drying, curl a few strips of paper for the hat. Glue on the rim and one on the hat tip.

For the mustache- use 2 1/2″ strips, glue under the nose and curl each end.
TIP* to curl the strips of paper- wrap around your finger, a pencil or paint brush. Then gently loosen.

For the beard- Glue the wide strips on first starting at the side where an ear would be and working around the chin to the other side.
Curl these using the same method as the mustache.
Glue the smaller 1/2″ strips on the beard and curl. These will add some dimension and fullness to santa’s beard!
