Instructions
Step 1. Gather your supplies. | |
Step 2. Paint the paper cup. Tip: if you dab the paint with the round, flat tip brush, as pictured, you can create a slightly textured look with the paint. | |
Step 3. Using a pencil, punch (3) evenly spaced holes in the bottom of the cup. | |
Step 4. Thread a Pink Fuzzy Stick through the first hole in the cup and then out through the third hole. | |
Step 5. Thread one end of a 2nd Pink Fuzzy Stick through the middle hole. Attach this end piece to the pink look inside the cup as shown. | |
Step 6. Pull the Fuzzy Sticks tight outside the cup and take them down to the under side of the cup. | |
Step 7. Coil the middle Fuzzy Stick between your fingers to create a flat disc about the size of a quarter. | |
Step 8. Repeat step 7 with the other (2) Fuzzy Sticks, this time the coils should be slightly smaller, as shown. | |
Step 9. Using the pencil, punch (1) hole on each side of the cup. | |
Step 10. Thread (3) Pink Fuzzy Sticks through the holes to create the arms for your monster. | |
Step 11. Glue (1) large Wiggly Eye to the middle coil, and (2) medium size eyes to the smaller coils. | |
Step 12. Coil a medium Glitter Pom to the end of each Fuzzy Stick arm. | |
Step 13. Coil a Green Fuzzy Stick between your fingers to create a large flat disc. | |
Step 14. Glue the Fuzzy Stick coil to the cup to create the base of the nose. Add (2) small Glitter Poms to create nostrils on the nose. | |
Step 15. To create the mouth, cut a Pink Fuzzy Stick in half. Twist one half together and bend into a flat heart shape. | |
Step 16. Glue the mouth on the cup then fill in small, white glitter poms as teeth. |
