REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE PUPPETS ALONE.

  1. Trace and cut out the patterns using the corresponding felt colors: Red – Two body pieces (only cut one mouth opening for the front body piece).
  2. Tan - Face (trace and cut the Mouth Slot on the Face), Head Cushion (cut 2).
  3. Yellow – Belt buckle, Black – Belt, gloves, mouth liner.
  4. White – Coat trim at bottom, hat rim, down the front, and around the wrists.
  5. Trim a beard out of the long shag white fur to fit around the mouth, back of the head, and under the nose. Make eye brows out of small pieces of fur.
  6. Glue the tan face felt to the red felt front body piece.
  7. Fold down the mouth flap and glue the black felt mouth liner at the curved edges. Glue only the edges because your index finger will be slipping inside to make the jaw move later. Turn the red felt front body piece over and glue the black felt mouth lining down at the top.
  8. Place the back of red felt body on top of the red felt front body and line the edges up.
  9. Glue the edges together, leaving the very bottom edge open.
  10. Position the pom-poms to make a nose with nostrils, eyes with pupils, and a top for the hat.
  11. Cut and glue strips of white felt around the wrists, down the front, around the hat rim, and around the bottom of the coat. Cut and glue the black belt and gloves.
  12. Add a yellow belt buckle on the coat.
  13. To help fill out the top of the head, glue together the head cushion felt on the edges. First glue around the top and, when the glue is dry, push some stuffing inside. Now, close up the edge with glue and insert the entire head cushion into the top of the head and hat. Place your hand inside to operate Santa. Thumb goes into left glove. Index Finger goes into bottom jaw (for talking). Middle Finger goes up into head. Ring finger and pinky go into right glove.
