    Step 2: Cut a strip of red felt.  The width should be at least 3 to 4 centimeters and the length would depend on the width of the cover of the folded cardboard.

    Step 3: Hot glue the red felt strip on the extreme bottom of the cardboard cover.

    DIY 3D Santa Claus Card step 4

    Step 4:  Cut a strip of black crafting felt.  The width of this is around 2 to 3 centimeters and the length would be the same as the width of the card’s cover.  This will serve as the belt of Santa Claus.

    Step 5: Place the belt in the middle of the red strip and hot glue it on the red body.

    DIY 3D Santa Claus Card step 6

    Step 6:  Cut a small square from the yellow crafting felt that has the same dimensions in reference to the width of the belt.  This will be the buckle of the belt.  Cut a smaller square in the middle of this to create a small square hole.

    Step 7:  Hot glue the buckle of the belt in the middle of it.

    DIY 3D Santa Claus Card step 8

    Step 8:  Hot glue a pair of eyes in the middle of the cardboard just on the extreme top of Santa’s clothing.  This should be placed approximately on the upper thirds of the card.

    Step 9:  Cut a small piece or red felt.  This will be used as the nose of Santa.

    Step 11:  Roll several pieces of cotton using the palm of your hands.  If you already have cotton balls, then skip this step.

    Step 12:  Carefully cover the sides of Santa’s face with cotton balls.  This will be Santa’s beard.

    DIY 3D Santa Claus Card step 13

    Step 13: Continue gluing cotton balls on the sides and the bottom or the neck part of Santa since he is known to have a thick and long white beard.

    DIY 3D Santa Claus Card step 14

    Step 14:  Create a pair of glasses from the copper wire using the rounded long nose pliers.  Cut the excess wire.
