I made this little guy on a whim. We started out making snowmen with the large sized pom poms. Then our snowmen needed scenes, trees and santas. This santa was pretty easy to make. The head is a pom pom. The body is a pom pom wrapped in a square of red felt. The arms and legs are rolled up pieces of felt. The boots are triangular pieces of black felt glued to the leg to look like a boot. The hat is a triangular piece of felt wrapped around the pom pom and glued together. Everything is hot-glued together. I like hot glue.
This was our Christmas tree ornament. It's stuffed with Poly-fil, hot-glued and beaded. I had more insight to take pictures of the tree. The santas went by so fast I didn't even think of documenting every step.
Lastly, we experimented with an ornament idea from another
site. The melted snowman ornament. Too cute of an idea. I tried. I don't know if I need an industrial sized hot glue gun, but I couldn't get the glue out fast enough before the existing glue started to cool and harden. Hers are much cuter than mine. This is what ours ended up looking like:
Not very cute. Now I have a zillion little black hats...
