How to make a hedgehog with paper

What you need:

countryside
The ruler is circular
hot glue
brown cover
two innocent eyes
colored paper (light yellow and light purple)
a black seed
drag
colored markers
pencil

Step-by-step instructions

On light yellow paper, draw a small rainbow shape (1.3 cm wide on each side).

Use a circular ruler to create a rainbow.

Cut it out with your scissors.

Draw three small but different sized rainbow shapes on brown cardstock.

Cut them out.

Make some cuts on the brown rainbow shapes as shown.

These will be the hedgehog’s spines.

Take the light yellow rainbow shape and form the hedgehog’s snout by connecting the far ends of the rainbow.

Seal the ends with hot glue.

Put a dot of hot glue on the tip of the muzzle and glue the black bead on for the nose.

Connect the far edges of each brown rainbow to form a cone and glue the smallest brown cone to the snout first.

Glue the middle one to the smallest one and add the largest one to the middle one at the end.

Wait for the glue to harden.

Neatly arrange the spines so that the hedgehog looks beautiful.

Add some hot glue to the bottom part of the hedgehog and stick the hedgehog onto the cinnamon stick.

Attach the eyes to the hedgehog’s snout with hot glue.

Take a piece of purple paper and write a message on it.

Roll it up and insert the secret message into the hole of the cinnamon stick.

You just made a little hedgehog that carries a message.

Correct!

Our hedgehog craft is enchanting.
