I took a portion of the mop strands and pulled them back behind the mop base and secured them like a ponytail with a rubber band.

Are you ready to make this mop Santa craft?

Here are some other ideas for your Santa

  • an old wet mop (that is now retired and dry)
  • shower curtain rings that you loop the top part of socks around to make ornaments
  • use the top of a gnome to get you started and maybe use some men’s socks for the beard or pieces of yarn
  • use a piece of cardboard to make things like the hat or a way to stand it for the finishing touches
  • if you want a body you can use rain boots
  • you can change this into a Santa gnome if you prefer
