Making these coasters is very straightforward however a little tip is don’t be tempted to try and substitute the hot glue with school glue!

Why?

Well, we’ve tried that and it simply doesn’t work… the pom poms will just slip and slide all over the place and even when dry they don’t adhere very well.

With hot glue, the pom-poms will adhere super quickly and you won’t believe how difficult (almost impossible) they are to pull off!

Step 2

Place your template on your cork sheet and draw around it using the sharpie.

Step 3

Press and hold the sharpie down over the features so they soak through on the cork.

Step 4

Join the dots to create your design.

Step 5

Carefully cut out your Santa shape.

Step 6

Using the template, cut out a mustache for Santa using white felt

Step 7

Apply hot glue to the face area, a little at a time. Remember to be very careful with hot glue as it will burn your skin if it comes into contact.

Step 8

Gradually apply the peach pom poms to Santa’s face area, leaving a small gap for the eyes and nose.

Step 9

Apply hot glue in stages to the hat area of your Santa coaster and apply red pom poms. Remember to leave a small gap between the face and hat pom poms for the rim of Santa’s hat.
