Pipe Cleaner Crafts: Peppy People
save
Don't be put off by this guy's twisted appearance: Making pipe cleaner humans is a snap. Fortunately for the pipe cleaner sculptor, pipe cleaners come in all colors -- just like people. Make a family of figures and dress them up any way you'd like.
What you'll need
- 4 yellow pipe cleaners
- Googly eyes
- Pencil
- Fingernail clippers
- Glue
How to make it
Make a V with a pipe cleaner and twist a small loop at the top.
Twist together the two ends a few times to make the torso.
Coil another pipe cleaner around a pencil.
Slide the coil onto the torso.
Clip a pipe cleaner in half and slide one half through the loop.
Bundle a pipe cleaner around a pencil and stick it on the loop to make a head.
Make loops at the ends of the arms and legs for hands and feet.
Glue on googly eyes and pipe cleaner accessories: hair (a C-shaped snippet of brown), a necktie (looped from red) and briefcase (a length of brown bent back and forth).
