Steps

	1.	Obtain a paper plate to make Santa's head. Scrunch up a strip of newspaper or any piece of paper and form it into a nose shape.
	2.	Position the paper plate bottom side up. Glue the nose at the center of the plate. Allow the glue to dry.
	3.	Paint the paper plate with any water-based paint. You can give your Santa Claus any skin coloring that you like. I mixed a bit of brown with white paint to make a light-colored skin tone.
	4.	Once the paint has dried, draw your Santa's facial features using crayons or markers.
	5.	Cut out a triangle out of red construction paper to make Santa's hat. Glue the hat on Santa's head.
	6.	Glue on some cotton to line the bottom of Santa's hat. Make a small round cotton ball and glue this at the tip of the hat.
	7.	Glue some more cotton to make Santa's bushy eyebrows and mustache.
	8.	Add more cotton to make Santa's beard. To cover larger areas, take a chunk of cotton and loosen the fibers to spread the cotton into a thin and wide swath.
	9.	Allow the glue to dry before putting up your Santa Claus up as a jolly Christmas wall décor.
