How to Make the Paper Hedgehog
What you need:
- cinnamon stick
- ruler with circle shapes
- hot glue
- brown cardstock
- two googly eyes
- color papers (pale yellow and light purple)
- one black bead
- scissors
- color marker
- pencil
Step by Step Tutorial
On the pale yellow color paper, draw a small rainbow shape (1,3 cm in width on each side).
Use the ruler with circle shapes to make the rainbow.
Cut it out with your scissors.
Draw three small but different-sized rainbow shapes on the brown cardstock.
Cut them out.
Make some cuts on the brown rainbow shapes as shown.
These will be the spines of the hedgehog.
Take the pale yellow rainbow shape, and form the snout of the hedgehog by connecting the far ends of the rainbow.
Seal the ends with hot glue.
Add a hot glue dot on the tip of the snout and glue the black bead on as a nose.
Connect the far sides of each brown rainbow to form cone shapes and glue the most miniature brown cone into the snout first.
Glue the middle one into the smallest one and add the biggest one into the middle one at the end.
Wait for the glue to set.
Neatly arrange the spines so the hedgehog looks nice.
Add some hot glue to the bottom part of the hedgehog and glue the hedgehog on the cinnamon stick.
Attach the eyes to the hedgehog’s snout using hot glue.
Take a piece of purple color paper and write a message on it.
Roll it and insert the secret message into the hole of the cinnamon stick.
You just made a little hedgehog carrying a message.
Yay!
