I had several requests for a how-to on my handmade Santas, Angels, Nativity, and Wise Men that I featured in my Christmas decorations posts...

I make OOAK Santa dolls. Thanks to my sis she got me started on this by sending me one of her completed Santa's in the early 1990s. I just loved him and I purchased some items to send to her that I had gotten a great bargain on for her santa construction. I held on to these items for a while and she had told me she quit making them and don't have the time. So I just kept the items and decided later that I would try making them myself as she told me that she and her friends would get together…

Making faces for dolls can be easy if you use polymer clay. Santa clause is one of the easiest faces to make because half of the face is covered with beard.
