Driftwood Santas



Ho Ho Ho Santa’s coming to town in Division 35. A few days ago Mrs. Lobel taught us how to make Driftwood Santas for Christmas. It was a simple and quick thing to do and probably a great gift for Christmas. To make your own Driftwood Santa there are just a few steps to follow. Step one is to find an unusual piece of wood and paint the whole thing red, for Santa’s jacket. The next step is Santa’s face -  paint a tan coloured circle in the middle of the piece of the wood. Then grab some white paint and use it for a beard that would go around the face as well for the trim of the hat. Now to add the finishing touches; paint a black strip across the bottom of the piece of wood, this will be the belt. Paint a gold square in the middle of the belt to represent the belt buckle. I bet now you’re thinking "what about the eyes?" Just paint two little vertical strips in the middle of the face. For the next step you need a glue gun so you can glue a nose just below the eyes and a mustache below the nose. You can use a wooden button painted white for the nose and white foam board for the mustache. So get everything you need to make your own Driftwood Santa and try it. I hope you will have as much fun as I did making it. Merry Christmas!
