A funny paper Santa Claus made from a cone is made from the following materials:

- a small sheet of cardboard, preferably one side of it is white;
- scissors;
- scraps of red, white, black and yellow paper;
- glue and stapler;
- white napkin;
- a piece of fabric and thread.

Step-by-step tutorial on how to create a paper Santa Claus from a cone with your own hands

1. Prepare a thick sheet of cardboard in the desired format. The height of the paper Santa Claus will depend on its width.




2. Roll a piece of paper into a cone. For quicker and more secure fastening, use a stapler.




3. Wrap a small piece of red paper around the top of the cone to make a blank for Santa's hat. Cut a rectangle from a ribbed white napkin.

By the way, if you are interested or would like to try your hand at the modular origami technique, then we suggest you make something like this.




4. Roll the rectangle into a tube and glue it to the bottom edge of the hat to imitate white fur.




5. Cover the bottom of the cone with red paper, but leave a white gap between the fur coat and the hat.




6. Glue black dots – eyes and a red nose – onto the front part of the paper Santa Claus from the cone. Also frame the lower part of the fur coat with a napkin tube.




7. To make hands, use red paper, roll it into a tube and decorate it with fur from a white napkin.




8. Create a strap from black corrugated paper and a yellow square, and buttons from black circles.




9. Use PVA glue to attach the colored paper Santa Claus sleeves.




10. Make a mustache and beard from white pieces of paper and attach to the craft to complete the look of Santa Claus.




11. Now the funny paper Santa Claus from the cone is ready to take pride of place under the small New Year tree. Be sure to make a small bag out of a piece of fabric secretly from the child and put candy in it.

New Year's mood can be lifted in many ways. For example, make a three-dimensional Santa Claus out of paper with your own hands for the New Year from scrap material. We also have a lesson
Just 15 minutes and you will be in the mood, and you will also have a finished craft in your hands, made with your own hands from colored paper.


  • Red and white double sided paper
  • Red store-bought pompom
  • Stationery glue
  • Simple pencil
  • Marker black
  • Scissors

Step-by-step photo lesson:

We will make the body of Santa Claus in the form of a cone. To make such a geometric figure, draw a circle on red double-sided paper. You can use a compass or circle a plate. Cut it out. Bend in half. Open and cut along the fold with scissors. We get two halves. For one Santa Claus figurine you will need only one part.


We twist half of the circle and get a cone-shaped figure. Secure the edges with glue. The lower parts can be adjusted with scissors to give an even base.


Then we draw a beard on white paper.


Cut out the beard along the contour. Cut through the middle to create a horizontal slit. We “dress” the beard through the slit. Bend a small part forward to create hair.


Glue the red pompom to the highest point of the cone. This will be the bubo of Santa Claus's hat.


Glue the plastic eyes. Cut out a mustache from white paper, and a small circle from red paper. Glue the cut out parts just below the eyes. Use a marker to add brightness and clarity.
