Santa Chimney Paper Plate Craft

Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Gather your supplies and make sure you have a paper plate, paint, cotton balls, craft sticks, colored paper, scissors, and glue ready.

Step 2: Paint the Plate Red

Flip the paper plate upside down and paint it completely red using acrylic paint. Allow it to dry.

Step 3: Size the Chimney

Place a rectangle sheet of paper on top of the painted plate to size out the chimney shape.

Step 4: Cut Out the Chimney

Cut the painted plate along the lines so it forms a rectangle that looks like a chimney.

Step 5: Draw the Bricks

Use a black marker to draw horizontal and vertical lines across the red plate to create a brick pattern.

Step 6: Trace Santa’s Legs and Boots

On red, black, and gray construction paper, trace the shapes for Santa’s pant legs, boots, and a base rectangle.

Step 7: Cut Out the Pieces

Cut out the pant legs, boots, and base pieces carefully with scissors.

Step 8: Add Craft Sticks to the Legs

Glue a craft stick to the back of each red pant leg to give them stability.

Step 9: Add Cotton Ball Trim

Glue cotton balls along the top edge of each black boot to make the fluffy trim.

Step 10: Attach the Boots and Legs

Attach the boots to the bottoms of the red pant legs to complete Santa’s legs.

Turn the chimney over and glue the legs to the back of the plate so they stick up out of the chimney.

Step 11: Add the Final Details

Add details with a black marker, such as extra lines on the boots or darker outlines on the bricks.
