Supplies

Wooden beads (round and cube shaped)
Pipe Cleaners
String
Googly eyes
Hot Glue Gun
Scissors

Directions

Cut two pieces of string, roughly 5 inches long.

Thread two beads onto each string, and tie a knot on each end (these will become the arms and legs). I recommend squeezing a small bit of hot glue into the holes of each bead to keep them from sliding up and down the string.

Thread 4 beads onto a pipe cleaner. (If you have a larger, more decorative bead – like the flower-shaped bead that I used – place this one at the bottom)

Bend the bottom of the pipe cleaner into a hook shape.

Loop one of the strings onto the pipe cleaner and twist the hook to keep it closed.

Slide the beads down the pipe cleaner, until they line up with the top of the legs.

Tie the second string in a knot above the top bead (this will make the arms).

Cut the top of the pipe cleaner about ½ inch above the top bead.

Add a small line of hot glue to the top of the pipe cleaner, and slide a cube-shaped (or large round) bead onto the top to make the head.

Glue on googlie eyes.
