DIY Lil’ Iguana Spikes
DIY Lil’ Iguana Spikes
Make this easy, wearable craft with your child!
Materials:
- One sheet of Green Construction Paper
- Two Sheets of Yellow Construction Paper
- Glue Stick
- Scissors
- Pen
- Ruler
Step 1: Take the green sheet of the construction paper. Measure out and cut four 1-1/2-inch strips the long way. Two of these strips will be used for the headband, and two of the strips will be used to hold the spikes.
Step 2: Take the yellow two sheets of construction paper. Measure out and cut five 2-inch strips the short way for both pages. These will become your spikes!
Step 3: Now, fold each of the two-inch papers in half. Draw a half-diamond on each paper as shown. Make sure the point of the diamond is NOT pointed toward the fold. Make sure to leave space underneath the half diamond.
Step 4: Cut along the lines to create the spikes. Open them up.
Step 5: Connect the two of the long green strips with glue (from step one) and begin gluing the open spikes onto the connected strips.
Step 6: Flip the cross piece over glue the tips of spikes together (use paper clips to keep the spikes together if necessary)
Step 7: Make the headband with the remaining two strips.
Step 8: Measure and tape around your child’s head. Glue the spikes onto the headband at the forehead and the back of the headband.
