Santa Brie Cheese Steps

How do you make Santa Claus out of brie cheese? Follow these easy steps! I even included photos that you can follow.

Arrange the brie cheese on a flat surface. Slice the thin white top section into about 1/3 of the circumference.
Cut out small triangles to make Santa Claus whiskers.
You can use a wooden board or tray for the background. We took a tray and covered it with a napkin. Arrange the brie cheese. Add halves of olive circles – eyes and bell peppers – Santa’s mouth.
From a strip of brie cheese, cut a strip of brie to make a hat brim. Cut the remaining brie randomly.
Add Salami to make his hat.
Place a snowflake-shaped cheese slice to the end of his hat.
