In today's craft we have some funny Indians, very friendly and colorful. Are done with recycled cardboard tubes and painted with fun colors. To make them more real, it was necessary to decorate them with colored ribbons and spectacular brightly colored feathers. How many of these crafts, They are ideal to be able to do with children. If many of the materials are not within your reach, you can ingeniously replace any of the materials with pieces of cardboard.
The materials that I have used are:
- Cardboard tubes for recycling
- acrylic paint in different bright colors, one of them skin-colored
- cellophane tape in different bright colors
- wool to simulate hair
- small colored feathers
- colored markers, one of them black
- scissors
- cold silicone type glue
- glue glue
- a brush
You can see this craft step by step in the following video:
First step:
We color the cardboard tubes with acrylic paint with different colors, we paint them a little more than half of the tube. We color the other unpainted piece the color of the skin as it will be the face of the Indian.
Second step:
We choose the colored cellophane strips and place them between the clothes line and the face. We place another strip of cellophane on top of the head, but first we will put some pieces of wool to simulate hair.
Third step:
With a marker we paint the eyes and the mouth. We can also paint freckles or blushes. We decorate the part of the body and the straps with shapes and colors to our liking.
Fourth step:
We put the feathers inside the tube to finish decorating them. We add cold silicone so that they stick to the cardboard. We let the glue rest until everything is well attached.
