Making Santa's beard

Use your stuff has this cue

as well as Winter/Snow/ Christmas

I had every intention of making my Great niece a re usable advent calendar this year. I collected my ideas, sourced the fabric but then kind of doodled around until time became of the essence and just when I had to get going and do it if it was to be done by the first of December I promptly got tick bite fever from a visit to an Elephant park and was man down for 2 weeks.

So this was my alternative and as she is only 2 years old it probably is quiet appropriate. Not my idea, seen on Facebook

It was all hand cut.
