Post subject: | A spun cotton Mini Santa. And a tutorial |
Last summer I started making some spun cotton pinecone elves. I really liked making them alot. I even had some fun finding the supplies to make them look vintage. Only problem is they really are not scaled right for a putz house. Earlier this year I swapped some putz supplies with Lynn, from the forums. In the box was a small spun cotton santa. He's about 1 3/4" tall. A good size for a putz house. Attachment: house with santa.jpg [ 305.38 KiB | Viewed 17136 times ] I tried my hand at making a tutorial. I have posted a sharable link to a PDF file on my google drive. i will hold a bit before posting file to the forums. I'd like to iron out any issues or confusion before the final version. https://drive.google.com/open?id=15fql_ ... f1K-J476zJ Please let me know if you find it useful. Steve |

Steve, I love this little Santa. It's excellent. The directions look very nice and doable. I wonder if you could use felt for the hat. Is there a reason you used red velvet paper? Maybe because it is thinner? Thank you so much for sharing this. It's wonderful. Lucy |

I used the velvet paper as it was what the vintage one used. Plus it glues up much nicer than felt would. You could by all means use felt, but I wanted the more vintage look. Steve |

Well, that makes sense and I bet it would work better, too. Lucy |
