Turn Mini Chocolate Santas into St. Nicholas!

These little fellows make nice favors or a place card decoration. They are a little fiddly, not really suited for a children's craft.

Equipment

  • Scissors
  • Small round pencil or other small objects to form crozier top

Directions

  • Measure width of Santa heads; cut miters free hand;
  • Cut gold wire into about 3-inch lengths, bend crozier top around pencil, trim as needed;
  • Put a blue dot on chocolate Santal's forehead to hold miter; another on hand for crozier.

That's all there is to it!
