THESE LITTLE SANTAS ARE SO CUTE! THERE ARE 6 SANTA “HEADS” COMPLETE WITH ATTACHED HATS AND THEY’RE MADE OF “HONEY COMB” TISSUE.

YOU COULD TIE A SMALL STRING TO THE CHENILLE AT THE TOP OF HATS AND USE AS ORNAMENTS OR THEY WOULD BE CUTE AS A TABLE CENTERPIECE, PLACED AROUND A SMALL TREE, ETC. – THEY’RE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!
