Inspired by the adorable Platecraft Snowman by Chris McVeigh I came up with this design for Santa Claus in a similar style.
Here’s a photo of Santa lying on a table.
The arms are adjustable, using a stud as a hinge. He can just barely stand on his own two feet.
There is a loop behind his head which you can use to attach an ornament hook, or just attach a LEGO chain like this:
I didn’t put up a tree this year (the photo above was taken at a friend’s house) so I have him hanging on a doorknob:
See the snowman and the rest of Chris’s ornaments (including instructions for many) at Chris McVeigh’s Blog. Also see the review of his book I posted a few days ago.
You should make him move like those toys where you pull the cord down and the arms and legs pop up.
Ug, I just noticed that the gold 1×1 tile is missing from a couple of the photos! Sorry
