Pipe Cleaner Man Tutorial {for Presley}

Dear Presley ~

.

If you are reading this, that means you received your little package in the mail with a bag of pipe cleaner pieces. I made a tutorial for my blog to show you how to make little people out of the pipe-cleaners. A tutorial is like a lesson -- I'll show you pictures and tell you how it's done and you can follow along and make one too. I hope you have fun, and I hope you will make lots of these!

Love,

Welcome to your tutorial about
How to Make a Pipe Cleaner Man.

First you take two pipe cleaner pieces the same length:

Then you take one of them and bend it so it makes a circle...

This will be his head and arms.
.
Then you take the other piece and fold it in half like this:This will be his body and legs.
.
Then you put the two pieces together like this:

Then you hold his head really tight and start twisting the other pipe cleaner to make his body. {You have to get it pretty tight up by his neck so his head won't flop around!}

And you keep twisting and twisting until he has a body and some cute little legs.

For my blog readers: Presley is my 5-year old niece who lives in California. We love to craft whenever we are together - which isn't often enough!

When Carrie was little I would make these little figures out of twister-seals in the produce section of the grocery store. I can remember her small enough to still be riding in the grocery cart, playing with one of these stick figures while I shopped. She was easily entertained back then! ;o)
