Santa Template
Print a Santa template for free and make Santa five ways. Print his face in one piece (hat, pompom, beard and face) to colour and cut; print it in 11 pieces to cut from coloured card or felt (a hat, a brim, a pompom, a face, a beard, a mustache, a nose, two eyes and two cheeks); print the cotton-ball version, with dotted circles on the beard, the brim and the pompom showing where the cotton goes; print just the beard and mustache; or print a whole Santa standing in his coat, belt and boots. Set the height from 2 in to a full page (8 in on one sheet), or a door-sized Santa up to 36 in tiled over several sheets, and fill the sheet with small Santas for a class. Type names to print one on each Santa. Print the outline to colour, or a colour version with a red or a green suit. Santa here is our own drawing of the traditional folk figure. A check square shows the print is true size. Download a PDF on US Letter or A4, an SVG cut file or a PNG. No sign-up, no watermark.

Santa sizes
| Height | Santa face: width | Whole Santa: width | Faces per US Letter sheet | Per A4 sheet | Letter sheets: face in 11 pieces |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 in (7.6 cm) | 4.3 cm | 6 cm | 11 | 11 | 1 |

Worked out by the tool with 4 mm gaps and the check square on the sheet; the height runs from the top of the pompom to the tip of the beard (or the boots). A 12 in Santa face is tiled over 2 US Letter or 2 A4 sheets, an 18 in Santa over 3 or 3.

Frequently asked questions
What can I make with it?
Five things: a Santa face in one piece, a Santa face in 11 pieces to glue together, a cotton-ball Santa with dots where the cotton goes, the beard and mustache only, or a whole standing Santa in one piece.
What pieces are in the Santa face?
Eleven: a hat, a hat brim, a pompom, the face, the beard, a mustache, a nose, two eyes and two cheeks. The table on this page lists the size of each piece on a 6 in Santa.
How do I make a cotton-ball Santa?
Print the cotton-ball version, cut it out and glue cotton balls over the dotted circles on the beard, the brim and the pompom (a 6 in Santa has 52 dots). Pull each cotton ball apart a little so the beard looks fluffy.
What sizes can I print?
Santas from 2 in tall up to 8 in on one US Letter or A4 sheet, and big Santas up to 36 in tiled over several sheets. The table on this page shows the widths and how many fit on a sheet.
Is this a particular brand’s Santa?
No. Santa is a traditional folk figure, and this one is our own drawing: a red or green suit, white beard and fur trim, with no brand styling.
How do I check the print is the right size?
Measure the check square on the first sheet: it must be exactly 1 in (or 2 cm with cm units) on each side. If it is smaller, print again at 100% or Actual size, not Fit to page.
Can I use it with a Cricut or Silhouette?
Yes. Download the SVG: it is true size in millimetres, with the cut lines on their own layer.
Can I sell things I make with this Santa?
The designs are our own drawings: you may use them and anything you make with them, including things you sell, with no credit needed.
