Now that you have all the supplies and tools, let’s get going.
Instructions to Make Your Own Three-Dimensional Santa Claus Card
Step 1
Fold the A4 sheet of cardboard into two. This will give you an A5 size card that will make the main body of your Santa.
Step 2
Cut a strip of red felt one and a half inches wide and long enough to cover the bottom of the folded cardboard. Hot glue the red felt strip onto the bottom of the cardboard cover.
Step 3
Cut a strip of black crafting felt one inch wide. Glue this black strip onto the red Santa “body,” leaving a stretch of red felt exposed on both sides. This black strip gives us the belt of Santa Claus.
Step 4
To finish Santa’s clothing, cut a small yellow rectangular for the belt buckle. This should be as long as the black belt. Then cut a small rectangular hole in the middle of the yellow felt and glue the buckle of the belt in the middle of the black belt.
Step 5
Hot glue a pair of googly eyes in the middle of the cardboard just on the extreme top of Santa’s clothing. This should be placed on the upper third of the card.
Step 6
For Santa’s nose, cut a small piece of red felt and glue it below the eyes.
Step 7
Roll the cotton wool into balls and attach cotton balls all over Santa’s face to create his beard.
Step 8
Create a pair of glasses from copper wire using rounded long-nose pliers. Cut the excess wire and then hot glue the glasses just in front of Santa’s eyes. Make sure to place it in a forward leaning position towards Santa’s nose.
Step 9
Cut a Santa hat from the red crafting felt and then glue it on the topmost part of Santa’s face. Be sure to leave a small space between the face and the cap, as this will leave space for his hair.
Step 10
Add cotton balls to the space between the cap and the face to create his hair, and to complete the picture, hot glue a cotton ball on the tip of Santa’s hat.
Done! Now write your special message.

This unique card would most definitely capture the heart of the recipient, who will very much appreciate the love that has gone into making this lovely card. Given how adorable it is, kids will also love it.
