AdventurerKatziChildren come into contact with nuts at the latest when Niklaus comes, when nuts are cracked in late autumn or when cones are collected for decorating.
Therefore, a squirrel with nut and cones is a beautiful decoration for autumn or winter.
Have fun doing crafts.
Set up all the craft materials and spread out your craft material.
Take the template for the squirrel or paint your own squirrel on a sheet of paper as a template.
Then place "to the sample" fir cone and nut to see the size ratios.
The size ratio has to fit somewhat, as the squirrel otherwise falls over when positioned.
If your fir cone is too large, you should either paint a larger squirrel (or enlarge it by copying it!) or use a smaller cone. Likewise, you should not use a too large nut.
Cuts out the template with the scissors. The line indicates where the paper is folded. The squirrel is cut out twice.
Fold the paper twice and transfer the template onto the clay paper. Cut out the squirrel (double folded!) with the scissors. Before you cut, be careful that at the back of the squirrel, at break, you do not have two parts later,
But these are still connected. Click on, then you see what I mean.
To the finished squirrel you can paint eyes and paws from both outsides. Then fold the double squirrel apart.
Put some glue on both paws (hands of the squirrel). Either craft glue/wood glue or a hot glue point. Then place the nut (walnut or hazelnut) in the hands of the squirrel and hold it until the glue is dry.
Put the squirrel flat down. Put some glue on the bottom of the squirrel and press the cone. Make sure that the cone is not glued too high or too deep. Otherwise, the squirrel falls over when you put it down.
If the glue is stuck, you can put the squirrel down.
Find a nice place for the squirrel.?
Have fun trying out.
