What could be more interesting than making Santa Claus for the New Year with your own hands? Collected as many as 8 ideas from paper, felt and other materials. If you want - make soft toys, but if you want - a beautiful postcard!
1. Santa Claus made of polymer clay
Although the figurine seems complex, it has very few details and delicate workmanship. Instead of polymer clay, you can use plasticine, and for larger crafts, even salted dough.
2. Santa Claus made of felt
Amusing volumetric Santa Claus seems to be created to decorate a Christmas tree. So do not forget to immediately sew a loop between the halves of the cap, and fill the body with padding polyester or cotton wool.
3. Santa Claus from a bottle of champagne
From dense red fabric or felt, such a festive decoration for a bottle of champagne is obtained. It's generally great if you have a piece of fur for your hat and fake hair for your beard.
4. Santa Claus from socks
Use a regular beige sock for the base and red terry socks for the caftan and cap. A beard can be made of padding polyester or even cotton wool, and the face can be embroidered or painted.
5. Santa Claus made of felt with a beard
Another scheme where artificial beard hair does not interfere. The principle of creating such a Santa Claus is very simple - you need felt, glue and wire. But you have to be patient to assemble small parts.
6. Santa Claus on legs
The hardest part of this scheme is to make the legs with a thick cardboard base so that the figurine is stable. For the rest, this is an ordinary felt Santa Claus on a cone, only a little more detailed.
7. Postcard in the form of Santa Claus
A belt and a cap made of colored paper were pasted on a white or beige postcard. Draw a face, make glasses out of thin wire and add a beard out of cotton balls.
8. Box for letters in the form of Santa Claus
Such a box can be hung at the entrance to the house for postcards, wishes and letters. All you need is an old box, scissors and thick colored paper for the face and cap.
