Cloth Santa with Reindeer

Each cloth piece was sewn by hand. Wool, felt, linen, and crushed velvet, were selected as the fabrics. Santa’s face was painted. Wool was felted onto his head (hair) and chin (beard). His coat was sewn with crushed velvet with wool sleeves and collar. Each deer had cord sewn through it to create their reins, along with chain on each side. A blanket was placed on their back with 15 beads individually attached by hand and a bell hanging from their collar. Branches were used for legs and antlers.
