Attach the first wing to the side of the bucket, just behind the handle’s attachment point, using double-sided tape.
Step 5
Attach the second wing opposite the first.
Step 6
Cut out two ears, two black circles (Ø 3 to 4 cm) for eyes, and a mouth from a sheet of black paper.
Step 7
Stick the paper elements onto the bucket using double-sided tape.
