A pipe cleaner friend is very easy to make. Here are some ideas.
Step 1
Get some pipe cleaners.
Step 2
Be creative. Twist different colors together, add googly eyes and shape it into any shape you'd like for a pipe cleaner friend. The image above shows people and a dog but you can be even more creative than that if wished.
Step 3
Make it some clothes from scraps of fabric, sequins, yarn, ribbon etc. See the image above for ideas on dressing your pipe cleaner friend.
Step 4
Add a handbag, or a pipe, or some glasses etc. Give it a pet made out of a pipe cleaner too if wished. Add a little name tag if you have named your friend.
Step 5
Make the new pipe cleaner friend a bed of some sort. If you want to, make it an entire home with a shoe box and fabric!
Step 6
Have your friends get into pipe cleaner pets so that they can join in the fun too. You can all make believe bathing, walking, feeding etc. your new pipe cleaner friend and even make a town with your friends.
