How do you make a DIY Santa belly?

You can use a small bed pillow or a fiber-fill cushion secured under a t-shirt with an elastic band or the costume's belt.

What shoes should Mrs. Claus wear?

Black Victorian-style boots, simple black flats, or low-heeled black pumps work best for comfort and historical accuracy.

How do you keep Santa's beard from falling off?

Adjust the elastic strap to fit snugly over the crown of your head before putting on the wig, and use spirit gum at the cheekbones for extra hold.
