Santa Patties

These Santas are a little thank you that I tucked into the club orders this month. They are free-standing Santas with a foil wrapped peppermint patty nested between the triangles. They would make a cute Christmas guest favor, a place card holder or if you put some ribbon on them, an adorable Santa ornament. My inspiration for these santa patties came from Sandy Hancock’s incredibly cute wine bottle topper.

Adhere a peppermint patty behind the head/triangle piece with sticky strip, making sure that the patty is hidden when viewed from the front. Adhere the other red triangle behind the peppermint patty with sticky strip, making sure that both triangles line up. Adhere the top of the red triangles together with a mini glue dot.
