WHAT YOU’LL NEED

·      Natural Pinecones

·      Larch Cones

·      Polystyrene Balls

·      Black & White Self-Adhesive Wiggle-Eye Stack

·      Skin Tone A4 Card & Paper

·      Polyester cone

·      Scissors

·      Wooden skewer

·      Double sided tape

·      Deco pens

·      Glue gun

INSTRUCTIONS

·      Take a wooden skewer and push it through two large polystyrene balls and then into the wide end of a polystyrene cone. Push it as far as it will go without it coming out the other end, then trim the end of the skewer if needed.

·      Wrap a sheet of skin tone paper around the polystyrene cone and stick it in place with double sided tape. Trim the ends of the paper to neaten it up.

·      Use the glue gun to carefully stick a mix of pinecones and larch cones to the two polystyrene balls. Continue with this until they are fully covered, leaving the underneath black so it lays flat.

·      Use a black pen to draw the nose onto the end of the cone and stick two wiggle eyes to the top of it.

·      Using the same shade of skin tone paper, cut out two ear shapes, and color the inner ears with a light pink deco pen.

·      Use the glue gun to stick the ears to the top of the cone, just in front of where the pinecones start.
