Lamb CraftEaster Place Name Holder
This lamb craft makes a
cute Easter place name holder for your Easter party. The body is made
out of cotton swabs, and the legs are made from two clothespins.
The clothespins can hold a name tag or a little note.
You
can also just make the lamb's body and made paper legs, and then you
can turn this Spring craft into a magnet, an embellishment for a fun
Easter card.
 Things Needed:
1. Begin the lamb craft by clicking here to open up a PDF file of the patterns for the body and head (a new window will open, Adobe Reader required). Print this out on white card stock, and then cut out the patterns.  2. Next, cut off the heads of cotton swabs. If a child is making this craft, be sure an adult does this part. Make each cotton swab end about 1/2 inch long.   3. Begin gluing the cotton
swab tips to the card stock body of the sheep, beginning at the back of
the body. Then, layer more cotton swabs across the body.
Use the photos below to guide you.     4. Next, glue two cotton swab tips to the side of the head to be the ears, as shown below.  5. To
make the lamb's
"hair", cut three cotton swab tips off right at the head of the swab;
they will be about 1/4 long. Layer and glue these to the top
of
the head as shown.  6. Use some
markers to add on some cute facial features for the lamb.
 7. Tie the ribbon
in a small bow, and glue it to the top of the lamb's head.
 8.
Glue two wooden
clothespins to the back of the lamb's body. Check for balance
and
levelness when the glue is tacky, by standing the lamb up. Readjust the
legs as necessary. Then allow them to dry completely.   |
