Directions:
- First get that glue gun hot and ready!

- Next is the yarn beard. Cut off SEVERAL {we are talking maybe 30+} 12″ inch pieces of white yarn.
- Tie them one by one onto one side of the popsicle stick shape. This will be Santa’s beard. Make sure you cover one entire side of the popsicle stick shape with the tied-off white yarn. If desired, once the yarn is tied on, trim down the beard with your scissors.
- Once done with the white yarn beard, grab the cardstock.
- Cut out a red triangular hat with white trimmings, for Santa.
- To finish off the Yarn Bearded Santa – hot glue the cardstock hat in place on top of the popsicle stick shape, as well as the pom pom “nose” in the center of the beard.
- Then display as is or hot glue some yarn to the back for easy hanging.
