New Year and Christmas holidays are just around the corner, so I suggest you together with your child make an original handbag for gifts in the form of Santa Claus.

alt

So, prepare:

cardboard
colored paper
glue
double sided tape
scissors
a ruler
pencil

To begin with, with your child, think about how your Santa Claus will be and draw a sketch on paper.

alt

Cut out this sketch and transfer it to the cardboard. We need 2 figures of Santa Claus.

Also we need to make a side. Its width is 6.5 cm. Determine the length based on the size of your Santa Claus (I have 26 cm).

alt

Now take the red colored paper and circle our cardboard Santa Claus. We need 4 figures to glue cardboard blanks on both sides.

Also we circle our side. We need two of them.
To one of the sides we finish denticles, with the help of which the rim will be attached to the workpieces of Father Frost.

alt

We proceed to gluing the blanks and the border. Remember that colored paper on cardboard blanks is glued on both sides

alt

Our main blanks are ready.
alt

You can proceed to assemble the handbag. We take our side. Lubricate the teeth with glue from the outside
alt

We glue the side to one of the figures of Santa Claus in a semicircle

alt

Now we grease the denticles on the rim on the other side
alt

We glue the second figure of Santa Claus. Keep it until the glue grabs.
The frame of our handbag is ready.

alt

We also need to cut out of cardboard and colored paper hands for our Santa Claus.
alt

On the reverse side to the hands we glue a small cardboard rectangle. The cardboard is stacked in several layers, so that, as a result, the hands of Santa Claus slightly protruded above the body.
alt

Now, from the white paper, we cut out the face of Santa Claus, and from the colored paper clothes: gloves, boots, belt, a bag for gifts, a pompon for a hat.
