Did you know that you can make great animals out of wooden spoons? Lion and caterpillar guard your books and are made of cooking spoons and paint Raffia . This is fun and looks really funny.
Here's how it's done:

Tear the Décopatch-Paper into pieces and stick them on the frames with patch-glue. The best way to do this is to pick up the small pieces of paper with the brush and put them in place. When the papier-mâché is gone and the glue has dried
you put another coat of patchwork varnish on all the surfaces.

Next, drill the Polystyrene balls with a hand drill (your mom will surely help you with this) and put it on the cooking spoon. This will then become the bookworm. Paint it white and green and draw the face with a pencil, so you can paint it better. Now he gets a loop of green and yellow Raffia and hair from green Raffia. You glue it carefully with hot glue.

Now the lion: First you paint the lion face. You can get the lion color from Buttercup and Orange mix. Use this to paint the cooking spoon and a white Chenille wire. Lay the yellow and orange natural bast for the lion's mane in 1.5 cm wide loops and wrap adhesive tape around the bottom. Cut the loops open at the top and fringe the Raffia with a Pin , so the mane becomes nice and bushy. Glue 6 - 7 of these tufts around the lion's head from behind with hot glue and trim them at the end with scissors. From the colored Chenille wire you need about 14 cm for the arms. Paint the ends white and glue the arms behind the lions. Then you can glue it behind the small frame and the caterpillar on the big frame.
