- - acrylic paint (gray, brown);
- For flower urchins:
- - papier-mache (napkins, old newspapers);
- - beads, half beads;
- - figured hole punch (for flowers);
- - PVA glue, "Titan";
- - nail polish, glitter (for decoration);
- For origami hedgehog:
- - ruler;
- - pencil;
- - PVA glue;
- - marker (felt-tip pen);
- - colored paper (gray);
Instructions
Step 1
Cute hedgehogs can be made from paper egg trays. Craft a hedgehog torso. Crumple a sheet of wrapping paper compactly, forming an elongated cone measuring about 15 cm. The size limit can be changed depending on the desired size of the hedgehog. Cut the egg carton into individual compartments. Prepare a muzzle from one element by gluing it to the pointed end of the base cone with hot glue.
Step 2
Cut each cell into 4 separate sharp-edged drop pieces for the hedgehog's needles. Glue the "needles" in the following sequence: first attach one piece at a time, after dropping the glue on the wide edge, and insert it inside the face. Continue to attach the thorns in even rows across the entire surface of the torso.
Step 3
Draw paws with claws on the egg groove and cut out 4 blanks in total. From the inner circle (bottom) of the notch, make ears by flattening the two pieces together. For the nose, use the tip of the cell. Make another hedgehog if you wish. Paint the hedgehogs with gray acrylic paint. Glue the beady eyes.
Step 4
The wonderful flower hedgehogs have a body made of papier-mâché. Papier-mâché can be made from the second and third layers of napkins (old newspapers, toilet paper) with the addition of PVA glue.
Step 5
Instead of needles, perforated flowers are glued to the body with PVA glue. Having prepared the flowers, fold them in two layers and attach them, distributing them over the entire body. Glue the half-bead eyes and bead nose on the Titan. Decorate the middle of the flower needles with nail polish and glitter.
Step 6
A funny, cute hedgehog can be made in origami style. Prepare two parts from gray paper: a square and a quadrangle. It should be noted that the long side of the quadrangle should be 12 cm, and the short side should be similar in size to the diagonal of the square.
Step 7
Make the base for the hedgehog's torso. Taking a square, fold it in half diagonally, then bending one of its sharp corners a drop upward (nose). Turn the element over to the other side and analyze the original result. If necessary, tweak it so that the workpiece looks as authentic as possible and resembles the body of a hedgehog.
Step 8
Make needles from a rectangular piece, folding it like an accordion. Fold the sheet in half in width. Then fold again from top to bottom in half, joining both layers of paper together. Fold back the outer half of the workpiece. Fold the rectangle in half again, then unfold it. Along the outlined lines, make rib kinks so that you end up with an even and neat "accordion". Bend the corrugated part in half, and secure the half behind with glue.
Step 9
Connect with the body an "accordion" that imitates needles, so that from the side of the head it does not go too low down to the very tip of the nose, but is located at some distance, opening the muzzle. Draw the beady eyes and nose with a black felt-tip pen (marker). According to your desire, you can cut out the legs for the hedgehog, gluing them in front and behind, and "plant" a mushroom or an apple on the needles.
