These Pipe Cleaner Pals are easy to make. A few moments of your time is all it will take.
| Prep Time: Under 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Pipe cleaners
Googly eyes Pencil Fingernail clippers Glue | |
| Seasons: Birthday, Year round | |
| Materials: pipe cleaners | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Make a V with a pipe cleaner and twist a small loop at the top. |
| 2. | Twist together the two ends a few times underneath the loop to make the torso. |
| 3. | Coil another pipe cleaner around a pencil. |
| 4. | Slide the coil onto the torso, so the coil covers where the original pipe cleaner was twisted. |
| 5. | Clip a pipe cleaner in half through the loop to create the arms. Clip another pipe cleaner in half and use those two seperate halves to create the hair. Thread them through the loop and twist so that the ends of the pipe cleaners point up. |
| 6. | Bundle a pipe cleaner around a pencil and stick it on the loop to make the head. Once you have pushed the head coil over the hair onto the shoulders, seperate and curl the hair pieces over the head. |
| 7. | Make loops at the ends of the arms and legs for hands and feet. |
| 8. | Glue on googly eyes and make pipe cleaner accessories: a tail ( a pipe cleaner wrapped around the waist) or a hat ( a pipe cleaner coiled a few times, leaving the coil open so the hair can fit through). |
