Tiny candy box Santa

Post by Laurie »

After restoring my first Candy Box House and Santa, I decided to try and make my own Santa. I made a mold of the face using Sculpey products and then shaped a body with wire and glued on the face. I wrapped the wire with floral tape, painted it, and then created the clothes with red wool roving. I still need to work on shaping the roving better, but here's the initial result.

Hi Laurie, what a great job, the face is perfect, and fabric is just like the real thing.
