Finishing the Towel Grinchy Claus

Set small Santa hat on Grinch’s head. If you were unable to find a small enough hat fold a bigger one inside of itself to shrink it to size and use safety pins to hold it at the size you want. Put strips of cotton around the ends of the red towel sleeves and neckline to make a Santa coat. Pose Grinch as desired.
