We start by painting the toilet paper tube red and, while waiting for it to dry, we proceed to cut out and decorate Santa’s legs. Now you just have to draw lines to turn the roll into a brick fireplace and insert the legs so that they seem to come out of the fireplace, fixing them with a little glue stick.

This is perhaps the least demanding, because you could also download pre-made templates from the internet, cut them out and place them as placeholders.
Conversely, enjoy a draw elves, reindeer is other typical characters of Christmas (you can also choose the whole Holy Family), remembering to separate the top from the bottom, so that you can then join them together so that they stand upright.
