Christmas Characters out of Corks: A Funny Kid's DIY

That's a marvelous and funny DIY on how to occupy children with some interesting business for an hour or so.

You need:

— scissors

— glue

— small wooden beads

— toothpicks

— pieces of felt or fabric

— paint (I use acrylic)

— brushes

— curly chenille wire

I took such corks:

Make noses from beads cutting them in halves. Or take half beads.

Attach:

Prime:

When the paint is drying, paint the faces:

Paint the noses and cheeks pink, paint costumes:

While the cork dry, cut out cork shoes.

Make legs and prime them:

Insert the legs into the painted corks, go on with the costumes:

Make beards from the curly chenille wire, glue them:

Now the headgears.

Cut out a triangle 90 degrees with sides of 10 cm.

Sew:

Fold the edge:

Well, our gnome is almost ready:

Now it's the turn Father Frost and snow Maiden. Make caps:

Add a beard and fur:

Here's what you get:

Make shoes:

We continue to put our heroes. Cut the blue and red bead in half and glue the two handle the snow maiden, and one Santa Claus. Toothpick with red ball cut , decorate with bead and painted in gold color (it's a staff of Santa Claus).

And give Father Frost the magical winter wand:

Paint the eyes and all is done!

Wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
