Thanks for the comments!

Sometime in the past, I got a small book that had many of the hat and face patterns so that part is fairly easy. Except for the body, most of it is done with craft paints and then it is given a clearcoat to protect the project. Lately my wife does most of the painting because she wants to participate in the gifts.

The hard part is the holes for the lights as it is a two step process. First a hole wide enough to pass the bulb through and then a hole from the back using a twist drill where just the tip barely protruds to allow for the bulb holder to fit in withput going right through.

Take care

John
