Paintbrush Santa Decoration

You will need:

Paint brush 2” or larger
Googly eyes
white craft paint
tan craft paint
red craft paint
white felt
white pom pom
rope or ribbon
paint brush
paper cup
sticky craft glue

Step by step instructions

First, paint the entire wooden handle with red paint, then let it dry.

Pour white paint into the paper cup until the paint is as high as the bristles of the paintbrush.

Carefully dip the brush into the paint, just up to the metal part of the brush.

Shake off excess water and lay flat to dry so that the water hangs on the surface as you see here or you can hang it on something like a tree to let the water drip and dry.

Once the beard is dry, use a very small paintbrush and paint the metal part with skin color paint and let it dry.
