🎅✨ Hola, hola, mis creativos corazones. Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes una manualidad muy especial que nació en una noche de trabajo, cansancio y ganas de reconectar conmigo misma a través del arte. A veces, después de un día lleno de diligencias, lo único que necesitamos es un momento de pausa, una chispa de creatividad que nos devuelva la calma. Y eso fue exactamente lo que hice: me senté en mi rincón favorito y me dejé llevar por la magia del foami.
Hello, hello, my creative hearts! Today I want to share with you a very special craft that was born one night of work, exhaustion, and a desire to reconnect with myself through art. Sometimes, after a busy day, all we need is a moment of pause, a spark of creativity to bring us back to calm. And that's exactly what I did: I sat in my favorite corner and let myself be carried away by the magic of foam.
Esta vez, les traigo una mini esfera decorativa inspirada en Santa Claus 🎅, perfecta para adornar el arbolito, la nevera, una guirnalda o incluso para regalar como detalle navideño. Es sencilla, práctica, y lo mejor: ¡hecha con mucho amor!

✂️ Paso a paso para crear tu esfera de Santa Claus
Step by step to create your Santa Claus ornament
The Round Base
To achieve the most symmetrical shape possible, I used a round lid as a template. With it, I traced Santa's face onto the skin-colored foam. This lid also served as a guide for other elements, so keep it handy!
The beard
The beard can be done in two ways: smooth (as in my example) or with small, cloud-shaped cuts to give it texture and movement. I used white foam and cut it following the outline of the lid. Here you can let your imagination run wild!
The mustache and nose
I also made the little mustache from white foam, cutting out two small oval shapes. I made the little nose from skin-colored foam, in the shape of a circle. These details give Santa's face a cute look.
The Christmas Hat
For the hat, I cut a semicircle from red foam (using the lid as a guide) and a strip of white foam for the base. I also added a small white glitter foam embellishment to the tip, like a classic Christmas pom-pom. This detail adds a charming touch!
Hanging Details
At the top of the hat, I glued a small orange foam square to serve as a base for hanging the sphere. You can use clear thread to hang it from the ceiling, or glue a magnet to the back if you prefer to put it on the refrigerator. Total versatility!
The eyes and expression
With a black marker, I drew the eyes and some lines around the face to give it depth. To brighten the eyes, I glued on two small squares of white foam. And that's it! Santa's expression came to life.
