Tin Can Santa overhead
How to make it:
- Paint entire aluminum can with white paint.
- Paint a section in the front of the can peach (or whatever skin tone color
you like) for the face.
- Take one cotton ball and stretch it out so that fits all the way around
the rim of the can. Glue in place about 1 cm below the rim. This is
Santa’s hair.
- Lay strip of white glitter felt on the table. With hot glue gun, fold over
edges and tack in place on both sides. This will create a thick and smooth
brim for Santa’s hat that will not show any uneven cutting lines. Set
aside.
- Position the red glitter felt around the top of the can, above the hair
(stretched cotton ball). Glue in place and let dry. You will finish
Santa’s red hat in a later step.
- Meanwhile, glue the white felt in place over the top of the red felt and
the cotton to form the brim of Santa’s hat.
- Using white craft glue, add Santa’s beard by gluing cotton balls all
around the can, leaving enough room open for his face.
- To complete Santa’s red hat, tuck the red felt into a cone shape, using
hot glue to tack in place if you like. Fold felt over the side of the can
and hot glue to the side.
- Hot glue the silver or white glitter pom poms to the end of the red felt.
- Use an extra cotton ball to dab on the cheeks, using a small amount of
pink paint.
- Glue the pink pom pom on for the nose.
- Glue wiggle eyes in place.
