Paper Twist Santa


This fellow is following in the footsteps of the rest of my paper twist characters.  I figured if I could make Thanksgiving people, I could make some Christmas ones too. :-) What do you think??


I've made four altogether. Here are three of them in the Old World Santa style:

The fourth one, I will show you in another post. He's not in the mood for photo's. :-)
I'm going to try selling these at a craft fair this weekend. Here's hoping people are in the mood for a paper twist Santa!!
I've shared this post at these wonderful linky parties:

Pine Cone Garland For The Cabin

Guest post written by Samantha Wilkinson

I think that when I was growing up, we may have spent one Christmas at home but I don't really remember, to be honest. Our family has a cabin up in the mountains and we always go and spend the holidays there.
I really like to help decorate the cabin for all of the holidays with these really woodsy looking decorations that I’ve made and put together over the years. I was looking to make something to add to our holiday decorations for the cabin when I came across some Atlanta Clear 4G internet prices. After I read a little bit more about them and what the service entails, I decided to change over our internet service at home to the provider.
I saw some pine cone garland that was just so adorable that I knew it would fit in perfectly with all the decorations at the cabin. I even figured out how to put it together with some pine cones from our backyard. I had to guess at how much I would need for it, but I think it’s going to look great.
