Default Some New Santas

Here are a few No See Um Santa ornaments I just finished. They were featured in the WCI 2011 Fall Issue #56 ob page 80. They're easy to make and lots of fun to do, and will make great gifts!

Very cool. They will look great on a tree. Hard to pick a favorite. I like them all.

Patty, they are approximately 3" tall and 2" wide. I made each one from a triangular half of a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 3" block.

Good job on the Santas. The only suggestion I would make is that the pure white on the beard really shines and stands out. Real hair isn't true white, it is duller than that. Maybe mix in a little yellow, or even light blue or teeny amounts of a dark color to alter the tint just a bit. Just my suggestion, the Santas look good as they are.
