Paper Plate Santa

Steps:

1. Prepare the Paper Plate

Start with a plain white paper plate. This will serve as the base of Santa's face.

2. Make the Santa Hat

• Cut a triangle shape out of the red construction paper to form Santa’s hat. Make sure it’s large enough to cover the top third of the paper plate.
• Glue the red construction paper triangle to the top of the plate, as if Santa is wearing the hat.

3. Add the Hat Trim and Pom-Pom

• Take a cotton ball, stretch it slightly to make it fluffier, and glue it along the bottom edge of the hat for the trim.
• Glue another cotton ball at the tip of the hat to create the pom-pom.

4. Create Santa's Beard and Mustache

• Glue cotton balls around the lower half of the plate to form Santa’s beard. Make sure to cover the edge of the plate for a fuller beard.
• For the mustache, take two cotton balls, slightly stretch them, and glue them above the beard, just below where the mouth will be.

5. Add the Eyes

• Glue two googly eyes onto the plate, in the space just above the cotton ball mustache.

6. Draw the Face

• Using the black marker, draw Santa’s nose and a smiling mouth between the mustache and beard. You can make the nose small and round.

7. Let it Dry

• Allow all the glued pieces to dry before handling the Santa craft. Once dry, your Paper Plate Santa is complete!
