Easy Directions To Make Paint Brush Santas:

To start, I painted over the gold part of the brushes with a tan color. In years past, I did more of a gray color.

The brushes needed a few coats of paint to cover them well.

When everything was dry, I tied a piece of jute twine through the hole in the handles. Then, I added a pom-pom to the top with hot glue.
