Pipecleaner dolls

 

Materials

 4–5 yellow fuzzy pipe cleaners

 2 orange fuzzy pipe cleaners

 2 small googly eyes or beads

 Scissors

Glue

Step 1 – Make the body

Take 2 yellow pipe cleaners.

Twist them together loosely.

Wrap them around 2–3 fingers to make a round/oval body.

Twist the ends together at the back.

Fluff the fibers so the body looks thick and soft.

Step 2 – Make the head

Take 1 yellow pipe cleaner.

Wrap it around 2 fingers several times to form a small ball.

Twist the ends together underneath.

Attach the head to the top of the body by twisting the loose yellow ends around the body.

Step 3 – Make the wings

For each wing:

Take ½ yellow pipe cleaner.

Fold it into a small elongated loop.

Twist the middle so it holds its shape.

Fluff it out.

Twist one end onto each side of the body.

Bend the wings slightly downward, like the wings in your photo.

Step 4 – Make the beak

Cut about 5–6 cm of orange pipe cleaner.

Fold it in half.

Pinch the folded end into a small triangle/point.

Twist the two ends together.

Attach it to the front of the head.

Add a tiny drop of glue if necessary.

Step 5 – Make the feet

Make two orange feet.

For each foot:

Take about 8–10 cm of orange pipe cleaner.

Bend the middle upward slightly to form the leg.

Spread the two ends forward to make little toes.

Twist/bend the pipe cleaner until it looks like a three-toed foot.

Attach the leg underneath the body.

Repeat for the other foot.

Step 6 – Add the eyes

Glue two googly eyes onto the head, slightly above the beak.

Step 7 – Shape our chicken

Finally:

Make the head round.

Make the body slightly wider than the head.

Pull the wings outward.

Bend the feet forward so the chicken can stand.
