How to complete this tutorial step by step?
Materials
To make a reindeer, you will need:
- 2 corks
- 2 brown pipe cleaners, 30 cm long
- 16 plastic beads
- 2 wiggle eyes, Ø1 cm
- 2 pom-poms
- 1 ribbon
- 1 glue gun
Step 1
Cut from 2 brown caterpillars of 30 cm:
- 4 pieces of 5 cm for the legs
- 1 piece of 4 cm for the neck
- 4 pieces of 5 to 6 cm for the antlers
Step 2
Insert 4 pipe cleaners into the first cork to form the reindeer's legs.
Attach the 2 corks (the head and the body) using another piece of pipe cleaner.
Insert the remaining pipe cleaners into the top of the cork to form the reindeer's antlers.
TIPS : Make small holes in the corks using a toothpick, a compass point, etc., to facilitate the insertion of the pipe cleaners. To strengthen the reindeer, you can even add a dab of glue at the base of each pipe cleaner.
Étape 3
Thread 4 plastic beads onto the reindeer's legs and then bend the ends of the chenille stems to secure everything.
Step 4
Using a glue gun, attach 2 moving eyes and a pom-pom to finish the reindeer's head. Also, glue a pom-pom to the back of the cork to represent the reindeer's tail.
You can attach the elements with a strong white glue, but the glue gun, which is very handy, allows for instant adhesion of the elements.
Step 5
For a nice finish, cut a piece of ribbon about 10 cm long and stick it around the body of the reindeer using a glue gun or a piece of double-sided tape.
