Santa’s iconic hat, snowy beard, and rosy nose make him instantly recognizable and irresistibly cute. It’s a wonderful stash-busting project and a great way to create something festive without needing a lot of materials or time.
The ornament is constructed in separate parts, hat, head, beard, and body, so you can assemble each piece at your own pace.
