Step by step instructions
Body
Apply some glue to a toilet paper roll and wrap the roll in white cardboard.
Apply a small amount of glue to the end of the cardboard. Press firmly with your finger until the glue sets.
Cut off excess paper.
Head
Take the second roll of toilet paper and use scissors to cut 1/3 of the roll.
This is what the roll should look like. Keep the smaller part for later.
Apply a little glue to the second roll of toilet paper and wrap the roll in white cardboard.
Apply a small amount of glue to the end of the cardboard and press firmly with your finger until the glue sets.
Cut off the excess paper.
Neck
Cut the smaller piece to get a stripe as shown. Cut the stripe in half.
Apply a small amount of glue, roll the strip and press with your finger until the glue sets.
It should look like this.
Wrap the small piece of paper in white cardboard and cut off the excess paper.
Apply a small amount of glue and press with your finger until the glue dries.
It should look like this.
Take three rolls (body, head and neck) and mark stripes on them with a pencil.
Color some stripes black and leave the rest blank.
Tongue
Take the remaining toilet paper and cut out a tongue. Paint it with pink acrylic paint and set aside to dry.
Nose
Cut two small circles from white cardboard.
Place them on the zebra’s face to make a nose.
Eye
Glue the bulging eyes onto the face as shown.
Stick your tongue in.
Foot
Take one strip of black velvet and one strip of white velvet, cut them into three equal pieces and rotate them. Repeat this with two more strips of fabric.
You should have four legs now.
Tail
Take a black velvet strip, bend it in half and start twisting the ends.
Leave an “O” shape at the end. This is the tail.
Use hot glue to stick the legs back together.
Here we have the standing body. Look, we create four legs by twisting the edges of the stick.
Use hot glue to glue the tail on.
Stick the neck to the body.
Use hot glue to attach the head to the neck.
mane
Take a cotton cloth and bend it in half.
Stick the cotton swabs starting from the head towards the body as shown in the picture.
Take another cotton swab, fold it into a triangle and attach it to the head and body.
Done!
