This is a neat way for kids to make their own pipe cleaner friends.
Step 1
Create a "V" shape with the pipe cleaner. Make a small loop at the top for the head placement.
Step 2
Twist the pipe cleaner a few times to make the "body" figure. The leftover two sides will become the legs.
Step 3
Curl another pipe cleaner around a pencil or pen.
Step 4
Loop the legs through the curled one and move the curled one up onto the twisted part to make the torso.
Step 5
Bend a third pipe cleaner in half and loop it through the head part. This will become the arms, as you can clip it shorter on both sides if needed.
Step 6
Create another curled pipe cleaner and place it on top of the head placement. This curled pipe cleaner will turn into the head.
Step 7
Create the hands and feet by curling the arms and legs in a small circle.
Step 8
Add other features. Glue wiggly eyes and add a different color pipe cleaner around the neck as a scarf.
Tips
- Use different colors of pipe cleaners between the actual body and torso, as it'll look like the person is wearing clothes.
- To have a more realistic and cleaner person, use scissors on the arms and legs to shorten them. You can also tighten the torso.
