Hello Hivers 🙋🏾♀️ and everyone in DIYHub community .
Hope you are feeling good in this festive period where love is in the air ❤️🥰. Today I want to share with you how I made my cute homemade Santa Claus 🧑🏾🎄. Firstly I'm glad to participate in this Christmas 🎄contest. Before I proceed, let me kindly list out the materials I used.
Old fabrics
Cotton wool
Glue
Black belt
Golden cardboard
Pencil
Scissors
Needle and Thread
Red fabric
Thick fabric

The Process
Step 1
We will get the old fabric set aside then tie firmly with thread. After that, we will flip the fabric over (that's the front part).
After we are done with that, we will get the cotton and then we will fill the old fabric with the cotton, and tie it with thread as firm as possible. After this, we will cut the fabric into 2
Note: make one fabric bigger than the other. The bigger one the body, while the smaller one the head

Step 2
Now, we will cut the red fabric into desirable portion, then, we will get the red thread and sew the fabric.
Note: Let the fabric you'll put on the head have a pointed tip.
After this, we will glue some cotton wool to a thick fabric on the coat.
After this, we'll put on the new red coat on Santa's body and head. At this point, we'll get a small portion of cotton wool and rub in between our hands as though we are forming a ball. Before this, we will sew the cap and then attach the cotton ball on the tip of the cap. After this, we will cut a thick fabric and glue some cotton wool on it to be used as the fur at the tip of the cap. After this, we'll glue the fur on Santa's cap.

Step 3
After putting the fur, we'll cut out a piece of thick fabric for Santa's coat and glue fur on it before gluing it to the red fabric on his body. Now we'll take the black belt and sew the free end behind the Santa Claus. Then we'll make a buckle with the golden cardboard by cutting a square shape and we'll glue it to the belt
Step 5
At this point, we'll fix the eyebrows using the same cotton and then the eyes
Note: We'll cut the eyes from the cardboard paper and paint it black then we'll glue it to the Santa's face.
For the nose, we'll cut out a piece old fabric and fold with some cotton wool and glue it in a round form before gluing it to the Santa Claus' face. Next, we'll form the mustache with the cotton wool and glue to the face.
Note: I love dread so I decided to make his beards dread by rolling it in my palm for some time

Step 6
Finally, our Santa will have arms 💪if and only , we cut out two red fabrics of the same size and sew them to be cylindrical in shape and fill it up with cotton wool and then glue cotton on a thick fabric and glue it to the arm leaving space to differentiate the palm from the arm/sleeves. And glue them to the Santa's arms.
This is the final look 👁️👁️👇🏻

Happy Xmas 🎄☃️🎅🏻🙋🏾♀️
