Don't these fir cone bodies look cute? In itself, this handicraft work is not a big deal, yet requires some dexterity and manual skill.
With the pine cones you can use freshly collected ones or you can use which you might have found in the Christmas box from the previous year. The pine cones can be stored over several years and used again and again for great crafts or for decorating.
If you want to do the crafting as an upcycle project, you can use old clean felt cloths for your wicker hats. Alternatively, new felt wipes or thin craft felt are also suitable. The cut-up of the hat is made quickly, only when rolling and glueing the cap a little patience is required. Check out the instructions for this, then you can do it well.
Have you ever made a small cotton ball yourself? – no, then it's time! Because you need it for the wobble nose. Have fun trying it out.

Larger children can also sew this can coat on their own or make it without a sewing machine.
All steps are explained here with sewing machine, but also without sewing machine as pure adhesive work.
At first, only the coat is finished as a stripe of fabric before it is put around the can as a whole at the end. This simplifies the work and makes every step easier. See for yourself how the Santa Claus coat is created.
By the way, the work on the sewing machine for small children is also very exciting to observe and easy holding work can already produce great motivation and curiosity here. So let the smallest ones also participate in how something great is created.
