Funny hedgehogs

Funny hedgehogs

These animals are passionate because they have bright colors and a fun look. They are hedgehogs that you can make with cardboard and wool and that you can make with young children, since practicing crafts with the appearance of animals is something they love.

You do not need very complex materials, with a piece of cardboard you can make wool pompoms and with colored cardboard make the bodies of the hedgehogs. You just need to stick some small black pompoms that will grace the noses of these cute hedgehogs.

The materials that I have used are:

  • Colored wool (in my case blue and green)
  • Blue and yellow cardstock
  • Small black pompoms
  • A piece of cardboard to make the wool pompoms
  • Pencil
  • Compass
  • Scissors
  • Hot silicone with gun
  • Black marker

You can see this craft step by step in the following video:

First step:

We draw on a cardboard the shape similar to a C to make the wool pompoms. We start by rolling the wool around the opening, leaving a small end of wool to one side.

Second step:

The more turns you give the structure, the more beautiful and pompous the pompom will be. We cut and tie the end with the other end that we left at the beginning. This part has to be quite well supported and tight. We take the part of the wool out of the cardboard and we will observe that it will have the shape of a bow. We will cut the ends of the wool to form the pompom.

Third step:

On a cardboard we draw a circle with the compass 6,5 cm in diameter. We will also draw the hedgehog's legs on the sides of the circle. With a black marker we mark what we have drawn and paint the toenails. We cut out the drawing.

Fourth step:

On the same cardboard we draw again another 8 cm diameter circle. We trim it and re-trim a radius inside the circle from the end to the center point. With the circumference made this way we can form a cone. Twist to form the cone and cut the part that is left over from cardboard. We join the ends of the cone with the hot silicone to make the cone.

Fifth step:

We glue the wool pompom on the cardboard cut out with the paws. We also glue the cone on the body of the wool pompom to act as a snout. We will also glue the small black pompom to the tip of the cone, as it will act as a nose. With the marker we draw the eyes of the hedgehog and thus we will finish making this funny little animal.
