Zebras are not always black and white striped! Red and white striped zebraats also exist! The evidence is shown below: a very nice handmade zebra, made with 1 toilet roll for his bodice, 4 popsicle sticks for the legs, a tip of an eggbox for his head. All wrapped with regular household aluminum foil! You draw the stripes yourself with a red perm marker.

This trendy striped zebra is sent in and made by Karla & Sam of Unlock Fun ! Instead of aluminum foil, they used the foil wrappers of tea cakes, but we don't have those cakes here (I think) in the Netherlands. But of course wraps of prince cakes, nougat rhombuses, chocolate sinterklaasjes, sugar mice, etc. Save your aluminum wrappers well, and then you can make a very special zebra!

Method:

  • Glue the toilet roll, legs, head and neck, and wrap the foil (or wrappers) around it.
  • Make stripes with permanent marker. That can also be green, purple or yellow, which you like! (Maybe it will be a rainbow zebra?)
  • When the legs are glued to the body on all four sides, make a cut at the top so that the cardboard neck can be pushed into it.
  • After that, make a cut (or cut) in the egg box head and slide it onto it. If necessary, glue it so that it stays tight, or use double-sided tape!
  • Glue wobbly eyes on the head and give him some mane (fringes) with a strip of cut aluminum foil.
