Happy crafting, my friends!!!
Paper Plate Santa w/Handprint Beard Supplies:
* Large Paper Plate
* Skin-toned Tissue Paper {affiliate link}
* White Cardstock
* Red Cardstock
* Craft Scissors
* School Glue
* Sharpie Markers
* Stapler
* Small Circle Punch or Extra Large Wiggle Eyes
optional – cotton balls or white pom poms
Directions:
* First cut your tissue paper into small squares.
* Put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate. Have your child place the tissue paper on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* While that is drying, work on the other Santa embellishments. We cut out a hat and red nose out of the red cardstock, as well as a handprint beard & eyes out of the white cardstock.
* To finish the Paper Plate Santa craft – simple glue on the eyes & nose, while stapling on the beard & hat. Then display proudly!
Extra tip – add cotton balls for his hat for a fun and festive custom look!
