Felt Santa Claus with Kunin Felt

A Cute Santa Claus made with Kunin Felt.

While at the Creativation Show last January in Phoenix,

I saw an adorable Gnome project at the Kunin Felt Booth made entirely from felt.

I fell in love with the project and knew immediately that I wanted to make it over into a

Santa Claus to make with the ladies during my annual Sue’s Holiday Workshop.

(I asked the Gnome’s designer Debra Quartermain and got her blessing.)

Here’s Debra’s Gnome Project and PDF Pattern on the Kunin Felt Blog.

I only changed the directions a little bit to make the Santa Claus.

Here’s what I used:

9″ x 12″ Kunin Red Corduroy Felt
Kunin White Craft Felt
Two Small Pom Poms
Beacon Fabri-Tac Adhesive* or Felt Glue
Scissors
Pencil or Marker for Tracing
Gnome Pattern
Tan Marker
Small Wood Snowflake painted white

Directions:

Download and print the Gnome Pattern from the Kunin Blog.
Trace pattern pieces onto red and white felt and cut out.
I made my Santa Hat a little larger than the hat used on the Gnome pattern.
Roll red hat into a cone and glue.
Glue white pom pom onto the tip of the hat. You may need to snip the tip before gluing.
Roll Santa body into a cone and overlap ends and glue.
Lay beard in place on body.
Place hat over beard (refer to picture) and adjust if needed.
Glue both pieces into place.
Glue mustache pieces to beard.
Lightly add a little color using the tan marker to a white pom pom.
Glue pom pom to the center of the mustache.
Cut long, thin strips of white felt.
Glue strips of felt onto the top brim of the hat and onto the bottom of the Santa body.
Glue wood snowflake onto the Santa hat.

A special thanks to Debra Quartermain and Kunin Felts for this adorable project.
