Job description step-by-step
Supplies
- brown acrylic paint and flat brush
- 1 styropor ball of 12cm and 1 small styropor ball, cut through half with sharp blade
- empty glass vegetable jar with lid
- 6 wooden lollipop sticks and2 woodsies/wooden moulds in drop shape
- red pompon, rhinestone,2 beads and 2 bells
- chenille thread for hairs and for collar
- white frutthreads/bunch of woolly threads of e.g. an old scarf or mop
- white paper for collar (not necessary)
- glue gun,black permanent marker, hobby knife and scissors
Method:
- Cut off a piece (4/5cm) of the ball with a knife, so that it gets 1 flat side and paint the ball. This is easier if you stick a long saty stick in the ball and spin it like a lollipop
- Paint the glass jar on the outside. This is easier if you put one hand in the jar and turn the jar from the inside
- Paint the side of the lid, paint the 6 lollipop sticks on both sides and also the woodsies on both sides
- Fohn the ball well dry and stick the eyes and nose on the ball. Draw the mouth and pupils with marker on the eyeballs. Tip: Leave a speck in the pupil white
- Cut grooves into the ball, a little glue into it and insert the ears (the painted woodsies) well into
- Dry the sticks well before sticking them in an antler form. Cut grooves into the ball, a little glue in it and insert the antlers well
-
Punch short chenille threads as hairs on top of the ball
- Glue the head with flat side on the lid. Do that with a glue gun, put a big blob on the lid and press firmly
Give Rudolf a scarf around his neck from a nice strip of fabric or chenille thread, with cute beads and bells.
Give him a white collar of paper and stick another rhinestone on it
Finally... in the jar you can still keep secret things, but sstttt... no one who knows!
