How to make a Cotton Wool Santa Craft

1. Download and print the santa art template.

The santa template comes in both color and black and white versions, so you can choose whichever one you like.

To grab your copy, simply head to the bottom of the post and click the large blue button.

2. Spread glue over Santa’s beard and the white fluffy parts of his hat.

3. Unroll and spread out the cotton wool balls. Then place them over the glue.

You don’t have to unroll the cotton wool balls. You can always glue them into place as they are. However, I like to unroll them because then I only need 1 or 2 for each picture. Then I don’t feel so guilty about using more cotton wool than is really necessary.

4. Repeat step 3 until your picture is complete.

5. Let your picture dry.
