Equipment

Instructions 

  • Tightly roll the two largest pipe cleaners so that they form two large circles. Be careful not to make the circles flat.
    Tuck the loose ends in at the back.
  • These two circles will form your bear’s head.
  • Roll the 3 shorter pipe cleaners the same way. You will have two large circles for the head, two smaller ones for the ears, and one for the nose.
  • Bend a 12” long pipe cleaner into a “V” shape. This will be your pencil wrap.
  • Add two small dots of glue on either side of one of your large circles and place the ears here. Then, add glue in between the ears on the top of the head and another one on the bottom.
    Attach your pipe cleaner.
  • Add a circle of glue around the head.
  • Attach the other large circle to complete the head of your bear.
  • Glue the nose onto the head.
  • Add the eyes and your sequins or small bead to the nose.
  • There are many shapes you can make with these pipe cleaners. Get creative and play with color options as well to form different creatures.
  • It’s time to start wrapping the pipe cleaner around your pencil.
  • Grab your pencil and begin wrapping the pipe cleaner around it.
  • Keep going until the entire pipe cleaner is wrapped tightly.
  • Have fun with your new pencil topper!
