Making Figures: Santa Claus

Santa Claus How-To
1. Fold a 4-inch stick of puffy red chenille inside a 7-inch one. Tuck in a 1 1/2-
inch piece of wooden stick for a face. About a third of the way down, twist a 4-
inch chenille stick once around to make arms; wrap torso with a 10-inch stick.

2. For the feet, loosely wrap narrow black chenille stick around a pair of needle-
nose pliers, then shape coil into boots. Use bits of white pipe cleaner and white
craft glue to add the details to his suit. A cotton ball supplies his beard and hat.
