2. Give both two coats of red acrylic paint, let dry thoroughly between coats.
3. Using black acrylic paint add Santa’s belt.

6. Hot glue 1-2 black buttons on the upper potion of your Santa jar and can.

LOL, love how you used a soda tab for the belt buckle Linda. It’s the perfect shape for it and the poinsettias and berries top it off so nicely.
Thanks Michelle! The soda tabs do work perfectly for a buckle. I just had to bend them to match the curve of the can, then they worked great.
That’s so cute Linda! Love the tab top for the Santa belt! So clever!
Thank you Florence! I needed something small and that worked. 😉
