Preparation

  • Step 1: Gather Materials - Collect all your materials on a clean surface so you can easily access them as you craft.
  • Step 2: Create the Body - Select a pipe cleaner for the body. A standard length works best. Fold it in half to form a simple torso shape.
  • Step 3: Shape the Arms - Take two shorter pipe cleaners (about 6 inches each) and attach them by twisting around the torso for arms. Position them as desired.
  • Step 4: Form the Head - Use a small piece of pipe cleaner to create a head. Bend it and shape it into a small circle. Attach the head to the top of the body by twisting it into place.
  • Step 5: Add Features - Glue on googly eyes to bring your character to life. Use small beads for embellishments like a necklace or buttons.
  • Step 6: Final Touches - Shape the legs using two more pipe cleaners. Twist these onto the bottom of your character. Feel free to add accessories such as hats or bows!
