Step-2: Cut the red color sand paper in triangle shape and give it borders using small sized Popsicle sticks. But as a base part to the triangle use plain Popsicle stick.
Step-3: Now take a drawing sheet of light color and cut it in square shape. And give borders to three sides by gluing plain Popsicle sticks. On the fourth side, glue three Popsicle sticks vertically in different heights.
Step-4: In this step, attach both the frames made in step 2 and 3. On the bottom part, use the square as face area and give it eyes and mouth using googly eyes and small red color buttons.
Step-5: Decorate the base of hat part with beads and colourful stones. Also, give a satin ribbon hanging with a star at the apex of the hat region.

Step-2: Glue enough cotton around the paper plate triangle frame. See the pictures for reference. Make sure you are gluing more cotton at the base to represent the beard part.
Step-3: Now cut red color sand paper and shape it as a triangle to give hat part to the Santa Claus face. Attach this hat part to the apex of the Santa Claus face. Also, glue a Popsicle stick at the back of the face as a support to the Santa face.
