Materials
Before we get started, let's gather the materials we'll need for this project:
- Red and white felt
- Cotton stuffing
- Yarn or string
- Black and white embroidery thread
- Scissors
- Needle

Instructions
Step 1: Cutting the Felt
Start by cutting out the body shapes for your Mr and Mrs Santa Claus dolls. For Mr Claus, cut a rectangle shape from red felt that measures approximately 11 inches by 8 inches. For Mrs Claus, cut a rectangle shape from white felt that measures approximately 12 inches by 8 inches.
Step 2: Sewing the Body
Next, fold the rectangle shapes in half lengthwise, with the right sides facing each other. Sew along the open side and bottom edge of each rectangle, leaving the top edge open. Turn the fabric right-side out and stuff with cotton stuffing until the dolls are plump and firm.
Step 3: Making the Clothes
To make the clothes for your dolls, cut out a small strip of white felt for Mr Claus' beard and a small circle for Mrs Claus' head covering. Cut out two small rectangles of black felt for Mr Claus' boots and two small circles of white felt for Mrs Claus' buttons. Glue these pieces onto the dolls using a hot glue gun.
Step 4: Adding the Details
Use black embroidery thread to sew on Mr Claus' eyes and mouth and white embroidery thread to sew on Mrs Claus' eyes and mouth. Cut a small piece of yarn or string and tie it around the top of Mr Claus' head to create his hat.
Conclusion
