Instructions
Step 1
Make patterns of the required size for both frogs: 2 crowns and 4 legs, with two legs in a mirror image. Transfer the patterns to plywood, cut them out with a jigsaw. Sand the edges of all parts with a sanding pad and paint with acrylic paint of the appropriate color.
Step 2
Uncover both large styrofoam balls. Glue two small balls in the form of eyes on one half using mounting glue, and glue the legs sawn out of plywood on the other half of the ball.
Step 3
After the glue has dried, use a sharp knife to make a crown recess on the top half of the ball behind the eyes. Paint the halves of the balls with green acrylic paint on the outside and inside. Apply a second coat of paint if necessary.
Step 4
Draw a sketch of the eyeballs with pencils, after that, paint them with white and black paint, draw the pupils. Draw the mouth line with a thin black pencil on the head. Mix a small amount of red and white acrylic paint and, taking a little of the mixture on a sponge, paint the cheeks.
Step 5
With the resulting paint mixture, depict the mouth of one of the frogs. When the paint is dry, paint the bodies of the frogs with shiny green paint and apply a white 3D pencil on the cheeks with white dots. Use Titan glue to glue the yellow craft stones onto the crown peaks and frog toes.
Step 6
Drill two holes along the bottom edge of the crown with a drill with a diameter of 1.5 mm, glue two pieces of wire 3 cm long into them. Apply a little glue to the ends of the wire and glue the crown onto the back of the head in the prepared recess.
Step 7
Open the bodies of the frogs, put small surprises in the recesses.
