I started making new Santas from paperclay. The ones I made a couple of years ago are flat. These will be more dimensional. I just started them the other day and am anxiously awaiting their drying. Once they are totally dry, I will begin to paint them and add the ribbon legs with beads for his boots. I can't wait to see them finished.
I loved the first batch of flat Santas, I will love this batch of 3-D Santas, too.
I'll post pictures as I work on them so you can see what I am doing. So far, the only thing you need to make these is paperclay, paper clips, a wire cutting tool, a tool for making holes in the bottom to attach the legs, and some paint. I intend to use dimensional paint to make the beard and mustache, as well as to decorate Santa's hat. You will also need som thin ribbon for his legs.
Here he is so far:
