Material for work

To create a product "Hedgehog from cones and plastic bottles", 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. A rope-string and a thermo-gun with glue are also needed.

Stages of work performance

1. At the plastic bottle the upper part is cut off, from which the muzzle of our hedgehog will be made in the future. You do not need to unscrew the lid from the neck. It will become a spear of the future hedgehog.

2. At the cut location, we make incisions through every centimeter. We bend the resulting incisions outwards.

3. Around the future muzzle of the hedgehog, it is necessary to wind the string, starting from the nose and ending at the places where the incisions begin. The ends of the twine are fixed inside the part.

4. From the thermo 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 body for our craft "Hedgehog from cones and a plastic bottle". Now you must wait until the glue dries. And then continue creating the product.

5. The glue must now be applied to the entire outer surface of the disposable plate. And then stick the bumps neatly onto the glue as closely as possible to each other. If suddenly there is too much space between them, it can be filled with small bumps, acorns or chestnuts. Our work "The hedgehog from cones and a plastic bottle" is almost ready.

Now it will only be necessary 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 ones. Fix the resulting eyes in the right places. Spray the paint in black with nail polish or black paint. On the needles on the back of the hedgehog, attach the mushrooms of mushrooms and fruits or artificial greens. To increase the life of our crafts made of cones, its surface is varnished. This will give the product strength and shine.
