I always get so excited to start creating for the Holiday season!
I love all the possibilities this wonderful season brings!
Like this whimsical Santa that I made with a cleaning brush !
Supplies you will need:
• Bathroom Brush
• Material
• small lightbulb or wooden knob for nose.
• antique white, red , brunt umber and black paint
• wire for glasses
• fluffy material for the rim of Santa’s face
• black beads or buttons for eyes
• snow Tex or spackling
• Diamond Dust glitter
• greenery and berries for embellishment
• material for face and hat
• wood burning tool
• hot glue
• a little piece of cardboard
• twine
Once you get your supplies you are ready to begin!
I took my wood burning tool and shorten the handle .
Cut a piece of cardboard like this for the face . I used a egg carton for this .
Then I covered it with material.
I used a grunge sock I already had on hand .
It should look like this .
Then I glued it on my brush like this .
I cut my piece of material about 17 inches long and about 4 inches wide .
You will have something like this .
Then go ahead and glue the seam together.
Once I had my hat glue I gave my face some cheeks .
Then I glued my fluffy rim . I used left over Dandelions that I had made .
Here’s the Blog for the Dandelion incase you want to make some .
I then squished the hat down so it would look bunched up a little like this .
Then I tied it with a little twine and added a bow .
I took my lightbulb and painted it Antique White
I gave it a couple of coats .
Let it dry well between each coat .
I then grunged it up a bit with a wash of Brunt Umber any brown will do.
Once dry I then glued his nose on .
I took my small beads for the eyes and painted them black .
Let them dry well .
I took a bendable piece of wire and made some small glasses!
I then glued his eyes and glasses.
I also gave his nose a little red for color.
I then got my greenery and embellished his hat .
I added a little snow .
I really love using this spackling when I don’t have Snow Tex it works extremely well!
I then sprinkled my glitter!
I added some snow to his bread and hat then sprinkled more glitter on them too.
Here he is ! Soooo darn adorable!
