by Julie McGuffee

Animal Print FrameYou will need:

  • Paper maché
  • Oil crayons - assorted colors
  • White opaque marker or paint
  • Wiggle eyes
  • Scissors
  • Glue

 

 

Instructions:

Animal Print Frame - Fig. 1
Animal Print Frame - Fig. 2
Animal Print Frame - Fig. 3
  1. Color the bottom and one side of the frame white with paint or opaque marker.
  2. Color the other sides of the frame with a dark brown oil crayon then color over the white sides of the frame with black oil crayon.
  3. Use the points of the scissors to scratch away the oil crayon on all four sides. Make the strokes in one direction so that the final effect will look like fur.
  4. The black with white underneath represents a skunk, so use a white crayon to draw a white stripe down the center of the two black sides.
  5. The brown represents the fur of a racoon. Draw a dark brown circle at one end of each of the other two sides for the dark circle around a racoon's eyes.
  6. Glue two small wiggle eyes at one end of each of the black sides for the skunk and one large eye on top of each of the brown circles.
