PREP
Antennae
Cut a 4-inch section from each pipe cleaner, fold down one end, and curve the opposite end.
Head
Draw an oblong face onto the orange paper, about 3/4 of the page, trace it with the black marker, and then cut it out.
Body
Cut a short dome from the blue paper or another color, about 4 inches by 8 inches, and set it aside.
FACE
Eyebrows
Slightly fold over your black paper, draw an eyebrow, and cut through both layers.
Nose
Trace your thumb loosely, cut it out, then trace it with the marker.
Eyes
On the yellow paper, make one eye shorter (2 inches) and one eye longer (2+ inches), draw a black iris on each eye, then trace the eyes with the marker, and cut them both out.
Mouth
From the black paper, cut a large, wide smile.
From the white and pink papers, cut teeth and a tongue, then glue them on.
ASSEMBLE
Glue the body to the bottom of the page, followed by the head near the top, and the curved antennae at the top, behind the head.
2. Glue the eyebrows near the antennae, the eyes close to each other, with the irises facing each other, the nose angled underneath, and the mouth.
3. Outline the mouth with the marker and draw the arms on the body.
That’s it!
We’re so thankful our buddy was inspired by the tools he received in his Hope Box. His creativity inspired ours!
Happy crafting,
Amanda and Naomi
