The bigger one (from Goodwill) is my favorite. It has a lot more "class".....The beard is REAL sheep wool--still attached to the leather below it. Might have been the head to a very nice Santa--wherever the BODY went.....?????

On the other two--the beard is long, fake fur. You can see the woven material under it if you lift it up. The hat is not pointed--just bunched up and sewed closed. Typical "made in China" product....The small pine cones need "fixing" as you can see gobs of dried glue all around them. Might insert a few more little greens there.....with MY glue gun....:o)
It is doable......

Here's my Favorite one hanging from my DR light fixture. He is adorable!
All these will have to be on larger Santas than the ones Betty sent materials for. I would guess at least 18"-20".

Hope you all keep an eye out in "fancier stores" now that the X-Mas clearance is everywhere. AND the Thrift Shops......
