  • Step 2Paint your cardboard roll a bright colour. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3To create your critters legs, cut 2 chenille stems into quarters and push each quarter into the side of your cardboard roll.

  • Step 5Decorate your critter with a paint swirl and attach the wiggle eyes with glue. Allow to dry.
