Look how cute it is!
Supplies Needed:
-
Recycled toilet paper rolls
-
Tissue paper
-
Google-y eyes
-
Dowel rods or chopsticks. A stick collected from nature would work too!
-
Tape or Glue
-
Construction paper
-
Pipe cleaners (one per critter)
Steps:
Step One:
-
Cut the paper roll down to the size you’d like your critter to be
Step Two:
-
Fold your tissue paper in half
-
Cut a section off; approximately about an inch
-
Fringe one section of the tissue paper leaving around 1cm gap at the top
-
Unfold the fringed paper then cut into lengths long enough to wrap around the paper roll
Step Three:
-
Place a piece of tape (or glue) along each section of your fringed paper
-
Stick to the paper roll to look like an animal’s fur
-
Layer the pieces of tissue paper over the top of each other around the paper roll, until you have completely covered it in “tissue paper fur”
Step Four:
-
Fold a piece of your construction paper in half and sketch a large heart shape for the wings
-
Cut pieces of pipe cleaner for antennae and tape (or glue) those on
-
Tape (or glue) the Googly eyes, and heart shapes into place
-
Tape (or glue) the dowel rod or chopstick into place at the bottom of the roll
