How to make a Santa Claus out of paper: the right and easy way


4. Make the Hat

  • Cut a triangle from red paper.
  • Roll it into a cone, just big enough to sit on Santa’s head.
  • Add:
    • A white strip for the hat’s trim
    • A white pom-pom at the tip
      Again, cotton works beautifully here.

5. Assemble the Santa

  • Glue Santa’s head onto the top of the red body cone.
  • Glue the hat on top of the head, tilted slightly for a cute look.

6. Add Details

Santa’s Belt

  • Cut a thin strip of black paper and glue it around the cone.
  • Add a tiny yellow or white square for the buckle.

Santa’s Boots

  • Cut two small boot shapes from black paper.
  • Glue them under the base of the cone.

Optional Decorations

  • Buttons using paper circles
  • Glitter for sparkle
  • Paper arms holding presents or candy canes
