Hello everybody! In today's craft we are going to see cHow to make this funny mouse out of the egg cartons. In addition to spending some time entertaining with the little ones in the houses, we can recycle the cartons of the egg cups.
Do you want to know how you can make this mouse?
Materials that we will need to make our mouse
- Egg cartons. We will need a hole per mouse that we want to make, so we will not need a whole egg cup.
- Card stock for certain details such as the ears.
- Wool of various colors and thicknesses. Or a single color, since we will use them for the tail and the nose.
- Scissors
- Glue
- Marker, temperas or whatever we want to paint the egg cup (optional).
Hands on craft
You can see this craft step by step in the following video:
- The first thing we are going to do is cut out the piece from the hole in the egg cup, this piece will be the body of the mouse. We can paint the cardboard or leave it whatever color it is (there are white, gray, green, orange cardboard, etc.). If we paint it, we will let the cardboard dry well before continuing with the craft.
- We will put the hole part of the cardboard down and we are going to stick a piece of wool on one of the sides. We will glue the end on the inside and leave the rest of the piece of wool on the outside to form the mouse's tail. We will leave it as long as we want.
- Now we are going to do the details of the face. We will glue two eyes of crafts or we can also paint them, on the opposite side to where the tail is. We add two rounds as ears and finally a ball of wool on the nose.
And ready! We can make as many mice as we want, and even different animals out of egg cartons.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
