  • Also with a marker, lightly color Santa's cheeks & lips in a pale peach skin tone.

  • Carefully trim around the image as closely as you dare.

  • Fold 1/3 of a silvery or golden pipe-cleaner in half and glue to the back of your Santa.

  • Glue a tiny bit of Engelshaar (Heavenly Metal Angel's Hair) or stretched Krausbouillion to the back, also.

  • Cut off one bump of a bumpy green chenille stem, and glue that to the back, too.

  • Add one loop of a thin red satin ribbon to the back with glue.

  • For a pin, glue a pinback finding to the back. Or, first cover up all your gluing with another piece of cardstock, and then add the pinback.

  • For an ornament, add another little twist of ribbon, or string, or, for a double-sided ornament, add the string and repeat your embossed and highlighted Santa, and glue him to the back.
