DIY Roly-Poly Santa Claus Hi, in this tutorial I show you how I made a roly-poly Santa Claus for my Christmas decorations. I used a ball, a plastic bottle, tin foil, paint, hot glue and paper clay (I used “Das modelling material“ ) I start by taping the ball to a scotch tape roll. Then I tape tin foil to the ball making Santa’s beard and hands. I then cover everything with paper clay. I let it dry and deflate the ball and take it out. I also take out any tin foil I have used. It needs to be as light as possible. Using tin foil and a plastic bottle I make the basic shape for the Santa’s head and add details like the nose, mustache, and hat. I cover the head with paper clay. While wet I model the nose, cheeks, eyes and mustache. Let everything dry. I used some stones to add weight at the bottom so it stands up right and balances when pushed. Now you can paint it in the desired colors. I used watercolors and acrylics. I usually start with the basic plain colors then
