Of course, they did not turn out to look like the ones in the magazine, and I also didn't use the exact same materials--I just used whatever I had in the house--cotton balls, construction paper, etc.
I also used boxes of chocolate covered macadamia nuts and kaki mochi instead of candy bars.
I simply wrapped each box of candy in white paper, glued on a red triangle for the hat, and topped it with a cotton ball. I took a rectangle piece of red paper and pasted it on the bottom of the box. For the beard I positioned a square cut with scallop shears. I then drew on a face.
I did one sample to model the finished product, and my son (just 4 years old at the time) copied as much as he could. He glued everything on, and drew Santa's face.
It was a cute and easy Christmas craft!
