Biker Santa

At our house we are NOT "bike" people -------BUT

I realize that many many MANY people get great joy from their bikes and for them I share today's BIKER SANTA


Greg M. - this one's for you!


Switch the color of the pants and the beard and you have any old big belly biker you'd like to make. (Yes, Greg - that would be for you too, hee hee hee)

Here is some how to for Biker Santa:

Head and bandanna - 1.25 circle
Bandanna tails - wing from two step bird near a circle hole
Eyes - standard hole punch white and black - adhered offset - add gel pen highlight
Nose - small circle trimmed on each side
Beard - scallop oval repunched with "end" of wide oval (could use a circle)
Mustache - small heart cut in half
Eyebrows - small circle near an oval hole
Belly - 2.5 circle - trimmed at back and bottom so you are using approx 3/4 of the punch - cut notch with scissors
Belt - strip from trimmer - (word window wasn't long enough)
Pants - large ovals - thin strip of grey from word window on edge of paper
Boots - full heart - trimmed at "base" of boot and "heel side" - rounded at leg opening
Gloves - modern label - repunched with 1/2 inch circle
Helmet  - 1 3/8 circle (use that again to make striped part)
Goggles - scrap into the small holes of the owl punch - toss the circle put the "hole" scrap into the word window (use the sticky of a post it note so you can hold on to it) - repunch again with word window to get the round ends - strap is just a strip
Buckles - tiny tiny scraps (good luck)

Stunning, Ellen. Thanks for the recipe. I think most of us have someone we could use this piece of punch art for and not just for Xmas. I'm thinking Valentine's day, Easter, Halloween & birthdays! The possibilites are endless.
