Made to look soft in a tiny size
I started this one from the finished object, not the screen. I wanted a tiny Santa that could work as an earring, a charm, or a small ornament, and still read clearly once it was stitched out. The soft part matters here. The white fringe gives the beard and trim a fluffy look that plain satin stitches cannot fake, especially in these mini sizes.
The base is freestanding lace, stitched right on wash-away stabilizer with no fabric underneath. After stitching, you cut the bobbin threads on the loose satin sections from the back, then turn it over and fluff the fringe. That one step changes the whole piece.
I kept the size range simple at 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 2.5 inches so you can choose between a very small pair for kids or a slightly bigger charm that shows more detail. It is an in-the-hoop project, so the process stays tidy, and the finish stays light instead of bulky. If you have stitched freestanding lace before, this will feel familiar. If you have not, the build is still straightforward because you hoop only the stabilizer and stitch the design directly onto it.

Yes. This Santa uses both freestanding lace and fringe, so the key step comes after stitching. You hoop only wash-away stabilizer, stitch the design on it, then turn the hoop over and cut the bobbin threads along the loose satin areas so the fringe can fluff up.
