Back Pack Buddies
2008-10-0315:50
“Backpack buddies”, another colourful craft that kids will love to carry with them to school.
What you'll need:

• Cardboard
• Pen or pencil
• Keychain
• Plastic jewelry cord
• 2 large foam circles
• Scissors
• Chemifix
• Wiggle eyes
• Wool threads or Feathery material

How to make it:

1. Using one of your foam circles, trace a circle onto the cardboard and cut out. Cut the cardboard circle a little smaller than the foam circle, so cut within the lines you traced rather than on the lines.

2. Poke a hole near the middle of the cardboard circle with scissors or a pen.

3. Cut a piece of jewelry cord about 12 inches long.

4. Thread the cord through the hole in the circle.

5. Line up the open ends of the cord and loosely tie knot with the keychain in the knot.

6. Glue the foam circles to the cardboard circle, one on each side of the cardboard. This will hide the plastic cord and the hole.

7. Line up the foam circles so they are even with each other, and apply slight pressure to flatten them close together.

8. Glue wiggle eyes on to the front of a foam circle.

9. Cut a piece of wool thread about an inch or so long.

10. Apply glue to the top of the “head.”

11. Glue Wool thread or Feathery material to the top of the “head.”

12. Let dry completely.

Tips:

• You can glue wiggle eyes to both sides of the foam circles so that the face is reversible.
• Check out the yarn aisle for colorful, fuzzy and wacky textures.
• Add even more character by using a small colorful foam oval as a nose or adding two small white rectangles as buck teeth!
