Begin by measuring out your red paper for your Santa’s belly.

I find wrappingt the paper around the tin can and creasing it a little, gives you the perfect cutting guide lines. You can of course also get a ruler out!!!

Cut 2mm to inside of your crease. Check against your tin can that you have the correctly sized rectangle.

Time to make your santa belt

Use the red paper as a measuring tool – cut a black strip of paper the same length as the red and 3cm wide.

Then cut a black square 3cm x 3cm wide (this will be the centre of santa’s belt).

Next cut a yellow square 5 cm x 5cm.
