- Instructions
-
-
Fill your bottles with plastic beads, pennies, pinto beans, or colored sand.
-
For the head, use a craft knife (adults only) to cut a hole in a small ball (a mini sponge ball or foam football) large enough to fit over the cap of the bottle body it goes with. Pull the out a small amount of the inner foam once you cut the opening.
-
Add the facial features with acrylic paints, or use tacky glue to attatch bottle-cap or button eyes. For a bug-eyed effect, try cutting a mini ball in half.
-
For hair, make holes in the ball and insert golf tees or plastic forks ( you may need to trim the fork handles to half their length first).
-
Add ears by partially inserting plastic milk jug caps into slits cut into the sides of the ball.
-
For arms, curl colored craft wire (or a pipe cleaner) around a pencil. Then use a strip of packing or duct tape to attatch the center of the curled wire to the back of the bottle.
-
Cut out hands from craft foam or felt, and glue or tape them to the ends of the wire.
