- After the face is dry, apply the Snow-Tex paint at the tip of the handle, and then on the BACK of the brush from where the red paint ends, over the silver band, and onto the bristles about ½ from the bottom LET IT DRY
- Once it is dry turn it over and paint the front of the brush. Frame Santa’s face, do his eyebrows, mustache and then the beard running down over the bristles LET IT DRY

B-Crafty Tip: The most difficult part of this craft is applying the Snow-Tex on the eyebrows and mustache. B-Crafty uses a wooden kabob skewer. Painting the face first give a good guide for placing the eyebrows and mustache. This paint brush Santa ornament holds up year after year and delights all who receive it.
