This fun and easy santa beard is the perfect Christmas project to do with your kids, classroom (if you’re a teacher), or even something fun to make for a tacky christmas sweater party! Heres what you will need:

Materials:

White felt
Beard template
Pen
Scissors
Cotton balls
Hot glue gun
Elastic
Eyelets (optional)

Step 1: Shape your beard

Download and print out this santa/seven dwarf beard template from PagingSupermom.com
Cut out the beard and trace it onto your sheet of white felt
Cut out your felt beard

Step 2: Size & Secure Your Beard

Lay out the flat felt beard and measure how much elastic you will need (ear to ear going behind your head)
There are two ways to attach the elastic, depending on how durable you want your beard to be. We were in a time crunch to make these so I skipped the eyelet step and just cut a small hole in the top corners of the beard so I could simply tie the elastic in around them.
To tie the elastic, make sure you push the elastic in through the back so that your knot is on the outer edge and so the end of the elastic falls in and downward and not out to the side or front.
