Come down the chimney in style and give any craft version of Ol' Saint Nick the finishing touch with a pair of paper Santa shoes. The shoes are made by using a Santa shoe reference to create a drawing of the shoes on paper. The drawing of each shoe is split into parts to make a template that is cut out and constructed. Making Santa shoes with paper is a crafty holiday tradition that appeals to both children and their parents.
Instructions
1. Get a picture reference of a Santa Claus shoe. Draw the sides, top and sole of each shoe on a sheet of paper. Draw other details such as a square buckle. Focus on drawing the outlines of each shape to make the drawings as realistic as possible.
2. Use scissors to cut the Santa shoe shapes out, following the outlines of the drawings. Put all the pieces together to make a three-dimensional paper object that resembles a Santa shoe. Lay the sole parts down flat first with their drawings face down. Stand the paper shoe sides up so that their bottom edges line up with the edges of the sole part. The soles and the sides should be perpendicular to one another. Connect the sole and sides together with invisible tape. Repeat this with the second shoe side.
3. Stand up the back side of the shoe so that its bottom edge touches the edge of the sole back. Tape together. Lay the top of the shoe on top of the shoe sides, lining up their edges. Tape the top to the edges of the sides. Place the shoe buckle on top of this to complete your paper Santa shoes.
