You will need:
- Wiggle eyes
- Pipecleaners
- Scissors
- PVA glue
Instructions:
- To make the legs, cut a dark green pipe cleaner in half. Cross the dark green pipe cleaners together in the middle to resemble the shape of an “X”.
- Cut a light green pipe cleaner in half, then wrap it around the middle of the “X” created by the legs. You should have five pipe cleaner “spokes”.
- Take your striped pipe cleaners & wrap the end of it around one of the legs as closes to the centre as possible.
- Start to weave the striped pipe cleaners around the legs and head in a circular motion going over one under one until the pipe cleaner is fully wrapped.
- Once you come to the end you can either secure the extra length of the pipe cleaner underneath the shell or you can trim it.
- Repeat steps four and five with two more striped pipe cleaners.
- Fold the legs in half and twist to secure at the top near the shell.
- Roll up the length of pipecleaner to create the head.
- Use some glue to attach google eyes.
