Hedgehog Decor

Materials That You Will Need:

Brown modelling clay

Hot glue + Glue gun

Small screws

Quick Tips:

Go to IKEA in their "AS IS" section.  There should be a box of spare screws.  Next to the box you can find some small plastic bags with a 1$ sticker on it.  If you fill that bag with screws, you only have to pay 1 dollar!!

1.  With the brown modelling clay, sculpt a shape like the one to the left.

2.  Cover the body section of your hedge hog in hot glue.  This will make it stronger.

3.  Hot glue on rows of small screws on top of the previously hot glued coat until it covers the  top section of the previously put on hot glue.

4.  Glue on 4 small screws onto the bottom to create the legs.
