This will become the mouth. Glue in the tongue and then then the eyes.<br />Take the four long strips and fold them like a fan. Glue them onto the bottom and they become springy legs.<br />For an added bit of fun you can glue on some googly eyes.<br />Happy hopping!<br /><br /></div>Anna-b-bonkershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11470379679830893275noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655954309168840850.post-33325497190794193052008-10-02T08:33:00.000-07:002008-10-02T08:50:42.447-07:00Fall leaves and twigs<img src="http://web.mac.com/borderlinebonkers/Site/Crafts/Entries/2008/9/22_Fall_leaves_and_twigs_files/IMG_1633.jpg" alt="" style="border: none; height: 471px; width: 354px; " /><div><br /></div>Create a fun fall craft with twigs and leaves collected on a walk or in the yard.<div><img src="http://web.mac.com/borderlinebonkers/Site/Crafts/Entries/2008/9/22_Fall_leaves_and_twigs_files/IMG_1620.jpg" alt="" style="border: none; height: 300px; width: 225px; " /><img src="http://web.mac.com/borderlinebonkers/Site/Crafts/Entries/2008/9/22_Fall_leaves_and_twigs_files/IMG_1636.jpg" alt="" style="border: none; height: 225px; width: 300px; " /><br /></div><div><br />What you will need:<br />- paper<br />- your treasures from the outdoors<br />- glue<br />-stickers or pop up stickies<br /><br />I found these little resin animals at the dollar store.<br />Happy crafting!<br /></div>Anna-b-bonkershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11470379679830893275noreply@blogger.com0
