Step by Step Hedgehog Craft Instructions

Step 1:

 

Select colored craft papers for the hedgehog craft. We’re using light brown colored paper for the

body base, outer ears and upper legs; dark brown colored craft paper for the spikes, medium light

brown for the mouth part and pink paper for the blush and inner ear patterns.

 

Trace and cut out the template patterns from the selected craft papers. Use a sharpie to fill the eye base cut-outs.

 

 

Step 2:

 

Glue the inner ear cut-outs on the outer ear cut-outs.

 

Step 3:

 

Glue the eye cut-outs near the top part (round side) of the body base cut-out.

 

 

Step 4:

 

Glue the blush cut-outs and the mouth part on the body base cut-out, below the eyes.

 

 

Step 5:

 

Glue the ear patterns on the top (round side) side of the body base and then glue the upper leg

cut-outs on both sides of the body base.

 

 

Step 6:

 

Take an empty TP roll and cut a round edge on either open side. Use the body base cut-out’s

round edge to trace the round edge on the TP roll.

 

Step 7:

 

Glue the hedgehog pattern on the either side of the prepared TP roll.

 

 

Step 8:

 

Take the spike base cut-out and cut 2 slits from the bottom end to fit it inside the TP roll.

 

 

Step 9:

 

Insert the slits of the spike base through the TP roll from the top.

 

 

Step 10:

 

Push the spike base all the way through and then apply glue to fix its position if necessary. Your toilet paper roll hedgehog is now complete.
