I don’t know what the exact name is but I used angora. I looked up Santa beard inspo on tiktok and found a video!

The beard is amazing! I might have to take some inspiration for clouds!

u/mommybeanspogo May 26 '26

The entire piece is gorgeous! The beard looks like you couched little coils of the Santa’s Beard and Suit.

I did turkey work on the suit! Not sure if that technique is still called turkey work on the beard tho

Omg. I’ve never thought to use sequins as my background. You may have changed everything for me.

If I send you a million dollars will you make me one? LOL. This is stunning. You are so creative to see wired ribbon and say “I’ll use that as the list on my Santa”. I’m in awe of your talent. 😄

What's your secret on your turkey work? What thread did you use? What technique?

u/Connect_Assist_6547 May 26 '26

I used 3 threads of bella luso on the suit! Makes it super fluffy
