1   Print out the template which is available as a separate PDF file on this page. The sizes depend on the size of the cardboard tube, so you may have to modify the template slightly. Make Father Christmas by cutting a piece of felt using the large square template. Use the large circle template for the face and the two small ones for the eyes. Make a beard with the heart-shaped template and use the oblong square template for the belt.

2   Attach everything onto the cardboard tube with Sticky Base transparent, self-hardening modelling gel using your fingers. Make sure to place the cardboard tube at one end of the piece of felt as shown in the photo, to ensure there is enough felt for making the hat.

3   Tie a knot at the top with a piece of cotton cord to slightly gather the hat. Glue the cut-out pieces of felt onto the Father Christmas figure using Sticky Base. Glue pom-poms onto the tip of the hat and for the nose. Make the belt buckle with a gold pipe cleaner and attach a white pipe cleaner onto the rim of the hat. Leave to dry.
