Hi guys, we live in a dark period caused by the COVID 19 virus and often at least where I live we are forced to stay indoors to avoid the spread of the virus.
At home it is very boring and my granddaughter I decided to create sheep and reindeer using material found in the only shops left open.
The idea is very beautiful and it was a lot of fun to realize it with my niece, it takes very little time and the results are exceptional.
Small sheep created from scratch and beautiful reindeer ready, albeit a little early, to decorate the Christmas tree :-).
Here we do not know when we will be able to return to normal life, the vaccines have started slowly and we just have to wait for the green light .... wait yes but we will not stand by and we already have ideas in mind for our next creations but we will talk about it in the next episode.
For now I leave you to the process of making these small animals that you can see both in the video uploaded to my YT channel and read below step by step to get to the final creation of the Sheep and Reindeer.
Have fun and let's go!
USED MATERIAL:
brown wool rope
white wool rope
wooden clothespins
red pompoms
Plastic eyes (alternatively you can draw them)
sprigs of wood
cardboard.
-SHEEP-
STEP 1.
The first thing we did is to draw a shape on the cardboard a sort of oval with the muzzle, the same design for both sheep and reindeer, once we have drawn it we have cut it out.
STEP 2.
We hooked the clothespins, they will be the legs of the sheep and with the white rope, we turned around the body and the clothespins until the cardboard disappeared and the clothespins were fixed to the cardboard, making everything peckish ... it must be a sheep with a lot of wool on :-).
STEP 3.
We glued the red pompom to the tip of the muzzle to make it a nose and on top, we glued our little eye and here is our beautiful sheep.
-REINDEER-
(The similar process changes little.)
STEP 1.
We draw the shape like that of the sheep and cut the cardboard to size, it can be made a little bigger since the reindeer are bigger than the sheep.
STEP 2.
We hook the springs and with tape, we hook the twigs near the muzzle, they will become the horns of our Reindeer.
As with the Sheep, start wrapping the brown thread to make the cardboard disappear and fix the clothespins and also our sticks.
STEP 3.
We glue a small red pompom to make the nose and glue or draw the eye and here are our creations.
The images are shots of the author and the entire video was recorded by the author with iPhone 12 and edited with the Perfect Video APP.
Music samples within the application itself.
As promised easy and quick and with exceptional results see you for the next invention! :-)
