1. To make the basic figure, you will need a 17mm paper or styrofoam ball for the head. For the body, cut 2 chenille pieces 19 and 13 cm long.
|
|
|
2. Fold the longer piece in half and insert the shorter piece through leaving about 6 mm at the top for the neck.
|
|
|
3. Twist the inserted piece around the longer chenille to secure it.
|
|
|
4. Using a larger lid, trace a circle and cut it out. You may also make a larger circle if you want the top to be longer.
|
|
|
5. Fold the cut circle in half and cut a small slit in the middle of the folded edge.
You may cut out a piece of rectangle instead of a circle. The procedure is the same. There are many possibilities for making simple clothes for the figures.
|
|
|
6. Slip the slit over the neck of the body. Use the arms to secure the “top”. If desired, tie off the circle with a piece of yarn at the waist to hold it down.
|
|
|
7. Cut a long, thin piece of fabric or felt and make a scarf and tie around the neck.
|
|
|
8. Glue the ball to the neck.
|
|
|
9. You can take another piece of chenille and make a cap or hair by wrapping and gluing it around the top of the head. You may also make a cap by cutting a small circle out of a piece of felt or fabric. Cut a 1/4 pie section out of the circle and glue the 2 open ends together. You can make hair by using yarn.
For hands and feet you may wish to glue wooden beads to the ends.
