The twist bar is a fun and easy-to-work creative material that can be used to make all kinds of critters. The following will introduce in detail how to use the twist and twist stick to make small animals, including the preparation before making, the steps and precautions for making it.
1. Preparation before production.
Preparation materials: twisting sticks, scissors, glue or double-sided tape, colored cardboard, eye patches (optional).
Determine the type of critter: Choose the critter you like, such as rabbits, bears, cats, etc.
Reference**: Find the animal of your choice on the Internet as a reference when making it.
Second, the production steps.
Body making. Depending on the size of the critter you choose, cut a suitable section of the twisting rod. The hairs at each end are rolled up separately so that they are brought closer together to form a cylindrical body.
Head production. Cut a small piece of twisting rod and flatten the hair at one end to serve as the head of the small animal. Stick a short twisting rod on one end of the head to serve as the animal's mouth.
Leg making. Depending on the size of the animal, cut two twisting rods that fit the length to serve as the animal's legs. Stick one leg to one side of the body and the other leg to the other.
Tail making.
If you choose a critter that has a tail, you can cut off a short twist rod, cut the hair at one end of it, and stick it on the back of the body.
The making of the ears.
If you choose a critter with ears, cut two small pieces of twist bars that fit the length, bend them into the shape you want, and stick them on the sides of the head.
Eye and nose production.
If you want to add eyes and nose to your critter, you can use colored cardboard to cut out round or triangular eye patches, as well as a nose with a small dot. Stick them in the right place on the head.
Perfection in detail. Finally, you can use glue or double-sided tape to glue the individual parts firmly. You can also add some spots, stripes, or other decorations to the body and legs to make the critter look more vivid and cute.
3. Precautions.
Be safe when using scissors and don't point them at others or yourself.
When pasting the individual parts, make sure they are firm and reliable so that the small animal does not fall off while playing.
If you encounter difficulties in the production process, you can refer to the online tutorial or ask experienced people for advice.
When finished, the critter can be placed at home or school as a toy or decoration. Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge
