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.
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.

Please let me know if you find it useful.

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.

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.
