Santa Head Instructions
The Santa will measure approximately 28 Inches high (Body—beard hangs lower) by 14 inches across and 8 inches deep.
You will need the following fabrics:
• 1 yard for the hat (I chose the traditional red both cotton for one and velour for another)
• ½ yard for the face (I chose a cream colored cotton)
• 1 yard for the hair (beard, mustache, and hair around top of face (I used cotton and fleece—cotton was easier)
• Buttons, wire, blush and other decorations for the Santa face
• A pompom for the tip of the hat
Sewing Directions:
1. Print the Santa Pattern
2. Cut the hat pattern and tape the pages together
3. Cut the face pattern and tape the pages together
4. Print the hair pattern piece.
5. Choose your fabric for the hat.
6. Choose your fabric for the face.
7. Choose your fabric for the beard (I chose cotton for one Santa (which was easier to manage) and fleece (which was harder to sew and manage)
8. Cut out two hat pieces, two face pieces, and 27 beard pieces out of your chosen material.
9. Mark the face with beard placement, nose and eye placements.
10. Sew the face piece to the hat piece right sides together. Do NOT sew the front hat and face to back hat and face.
11. Take 20 of the hair pieces and place the middle of the piece on the beard markings on the face. The hair pieces will overlap each other. Sew the middle of the hair piece along the beard
markings. Then fold over the hair piece and you will have your beard.
12. Take one hair piece, fold it in fourths and then sew it under the nose marking.
13. Take the last six hair pieces and arrange each piece in fourths (otherwise his hair will cover his face!) at the seam between the hat and face with the middle of the hair piece placed
on the seam line between the hat and face. (this is Santa’s hair sticking out from under the hat.) Sew the hair pieces in place along the seam of the hat and face.
14. You may now sew the face pieces on the face or wait until you sew the front and back together and stuff the Santa head. I waited until I stuffed the Santa.
15. After you have finished attaching the beard and face pieces you must sew the front hat and face to the back hat and face leaving a space to stuff the head. Be careful that you do not
catch the hair while sewing.
16. Stuff the Santa, and close the open seam. (you probably will have to sew it by hand)
17. Decorate the head. I used a 2 ½ “round piece of fabric to make the nose (I sewed around the nose piece, stuffed it and then sewed it on the face above the mustache. I then used
two blue buttons for the eyes and made eye glasses from some wire and used blush for rosy cheeks. You can decorate the face as you see fit. You may add bells and other ornaments to the face
and hat as well.
18. Add a POMPOM at the tip of the hat.
