Material for work
To create a product “Hedgehog from cones and a plastic bottle”, you need to prepare the materials necessary for the work. You will need pine cones, a plastic bottle, preferably brown, a deep plastic disposable plate, a construction knife, two large white buttons and two small black ones. Still need a rope-twine and a thermal gun with glue.
Work Stages
1. The upper part is cut off from a plastic bottle, from which the face of our hedgehog will be made in the future. It is not necessary to unscrew the cap from the neck. She will become the nose of the future hedgehog.
2. At the place of the cut, we make notches through each centimeter. We bend the resulting notches out.
3. Around the future face of the hedgehog, you need to wind the twine, starting from the nose and ending at the places where the incisions began. The ends of the twine are fixed inside the part.
4. From a heat gun, apply hot glue to the notches and glue the part to the side of the disposable plate, which is turned upside down. So, we got a little body for our craft "Hedgehog from cones and a plastic bottle." Now you have to wait for the glue to dry. And then continue to create the product.
5. Glue must now be applied to the entire outer surface of the disposable plate. And then gently stick the cones onto the glue as tightly as possible to each other. If suddenly there is too noticeable space between them, it can be filled with small cones, acorns or chestnuts. Our craft "Hedgehog made of cones and a plastic bottle" is almost ready.
Now it remains only to make some small details in order to finish the work on creating a
hedgehog from a plastic bottle and pine cones. Make eyes for the hedgehog. To do this, glue the black buttons on the white. Fix the resulting eyes in the right places. Spray the nose cap black with nail polish or black paint. On the needles on the back of the hedgehog, attach dummies of mushrooms and fruits or artificial greens. To increase the life of our crafts made of cones, cover its surface with varnish. This will give the product strength and brilliance.
