hello my name is Cindy Glover and on behalf of expertvillage.com I'm going to show you how to make your Santa ornament. First apply glue to the toilet paper roll and then bordering your construction paper and then just rolling the paper on making sure that you'll hold it for a moment to give it a chance to stick. Once you have done that with your hole punch, punch 2 holes at the top about a half inch down. About a inch and half apart. Do the same at the bottom or at the other end of the toilet paper roll. This is where Santa's legs and arms would go. Now if you should decide you want to hang him make another hole in the back for your ribbon or yarn. With your pipe cleaners put it through from the outside, on the inside you just need to clamp it together with your fingers. Then with elemers glue or a hot glue gun cover the tip of the pipe cleaner and apply his boot and wrapping that around the pipe cleaner and holding it for a moment. Then at the top put the other 2 pipe cleaners in clamping down in the inside pinching it together and now you are ready to put his mittens on. Also for Santa's face you could either draw his face with his eyes and nose or put two squiggly eyes on. This kind of makes him look a little more silly and then the cotton is for his beard now you have is face. Take once that is ready glue him in between his 2 arms as such, put the ribbon around the middle of him, and his belt buckle in the middle.
