Christmas Tree Ball Santa
For Christmas Tree Ball Santa you will need:
white pipe cleaner
scissors
bits of colored paper
glue
solid colored Christmas tree balls and their metal hooks
cotton
Wind a piece of pipe cleaner around the top of the Christmas tree ball. If you are using a large ball, twist 2 pipe cleaners together before winding. Place pipe cleaner 1 inch from top of a medium or large ball, and 1/2 inch from top of tiny ball. Cut pipe cleaner off at point where ends meet. This will make the border of Santa’s hat. Spread a thin line of glue around the ball exactly where you measured the pipe cleaner. Also put glue on one edge of the pipe cleaner itself, and press it onto the ball. Cut out bits of colored paper for the eyes, nose, and moustache. (Moustache can also be made with small rolls of cotton.) Copy shapes on the right but enlarge them as much as necessary. Glue Santa’s face onto front of ball, just below border of hat. Take another piece of pipe cleaner and measure the length of a loop from the border of the hat around under the face and back up to the border again. Cut off any extra. Glue pipe cleaner loop onto ball for Santa’s beard. Place wire hook and hang Santa up on your Christmas tree.
