Ingredients
- 1 white plastic bottle
- Battery-powered LED lights
- Red fabric or felt
- White cotton
- 1 wooden ball for the nose
- Gold ribbon and Christmas decorations
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
- A protected work surface
Instructions
- Clean and prepare the bottle: Wash the white plastic bottle thoroughly to remove any drink residue. Rinse it well and let it dry completely before beginning.
- Place the LED lights inside: Open the battery compartment and check that the LED strand is working. Place the lights inside the bottle, arranging the strand loosely.
- Add the cotton beard: Take small amounts of white cotton and attach them around the lower part of the bottle to form Santa’s beard.
- Cut and shape the red hat: Cut the red fabric or felt and form it into a Christmas hat that can sit over the top of the bottle.
- Position the hat: Place the finished red hat over the bottle and secure it with small amounts of hot glue.
- Attach the wooden nose: Glue the wooden ball to the front of the bottle, above the cotton beard and beneath the hat.
- Decorate the hat and Santa: Add the gold ribbon and Christmas decorations to the hat and other suitable areas.
- Check the finished decoration: Look over the Santa from the front and sides. Switch on the LED lights and check the final glow.
Notes
Use the hot glue gun only with adult supervision. Hot glue can cause burns, and small decorative pieces may pose choking hazards for young children.
