Make a Christmas Santa ornament for your your table, or just for the fun of it. HO HO HO

These are magical instructions empowering you with the knowledge and seasonal cheer to build a Christmas Santa ornament.

A kit with all of the materials can be purchased at Etsy for US $5.00, plus $2.50 shipping. My wife put this together with instructions, bagged ,and in a sturdy box for a very reasonable cost.

But you can also get in your sleigh and dash off to your nearest elfen craft store and pick these items up for yourself. If you do, this instructable will put you on the right path, in the right spirit and make the world a more cheerful place.

Step 1 Assemble the materials. And grab a cup of hot cocoa while you are at it.

What you will need ( besides the cocoa, and Bing Crosby):

1 2" Styrofoam ball (body)
1 1/2" round wooden bead, flat on one side with hole
1 1/8" diam. wooden dowel (post for head)
2 1/4" wooden dowels for arms
2 3/8" wooden balls (hands)
1 6" round piece of cheerful fabric (Santa's coat)
1 piece of white felt for beard, mustache, hat trim
1 one red pompom (Santa's nose)and one white pompom (for his hat)
1 small wrapped package, toy or wreath (for ambiance)
2 pieces of fabric for sleeves (more cheerful holiday fabric - best if it matches his coat)
1 piece fabric for Santa's hat (this can be any holiday fabric, red fabric, or even green)

Take a sip of that cocoa if you have not already!

The kits at Etsy are sold out. Should we make more?

Nice ornament, but step three really needs more pictures of the actual making process.

I agree. Mostly I scan through the Instructables, looking at the pictures to get the gist of it. Also, when I'm making it, the picture help me out. Still, nice idea
