Santa Pants

Following a tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers written by Twila Davis, I actually created four of these little Santa Pants, and into them went cookies, fudge, Christmas Candy Cane hearts, and one of the Punchboard Peppermint Patty snowmen  I had them all delivered but the first one (the "test") before I realized that my pictures had not come out of the four of them, and I had only one left to take a photo of for posting.  Accents on the other ones were things like making the buckle out of gold glitter paper, and making the belt out of shiny black foil paper.  I used SU really red paper, and even thought of gluing on some cotton.  The basket is adorable, and the minis would be just as much fun to make.  Thank you Twila for the fun. I used Enamel Accents for white detail on the mouth and the eyes, and the "tree branches" from the tree in Hero Arts "Thorntree and Grasses" dieset for the snowmen's arms, that don't show in the picture.   Worked out much better than real twigs.
