Farmyard Friends – Handmade with Heinz
How super cute?! This has to be my favourite Handmade with Heinz project so far - make a farmyard animal set from your used Heinz UK cans!
Let me know if you make these easy and fun farmyard friends - be sure to share your own can crafts with me!
MATERIALS
1 X EMPTY HEINZ CAN PER ANIMAL
THICK TAPE
WHITE COLOURED PAINT FOR A SHEEP (PINK FOR A PIG, BROWN FOR A COW)
WHITE COLOURED FELT BALLS (OR PINK OR BROWN)
BLACK FELT SHEET - (PINK FOR A PIG, BROWN FOR A COW)
GOOGLY EYES
TOOLS
PAINTBRUSH
GLUE GUN (OPTIONAL)
PAPER AND PENCIL (OPTIONAL)
PINS (OPTIONAL)
STEP 1:
IT ALL STARTS WITH A HEINZ CAN...
STEP 2:
BEFORE YOU START CRAFTING, EAT WHAT'S IN THE CAN, CLEAN IT WITH A BRUSH, REMOVE THE CAN LABEL AND (JUST TO BE SAFE) TAPE THE OPEN EDGE WITH A THICK TAPE.
STEP 3:
PAINT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR CAN AND AROUND 1CM OVER THE EDGE BEFORE ALLOWING TO DRY.
STEP 4:
STARTING FROM THE TAPED END OF THE CAN, GLUE THE FELT BALLS ALONGSIDE EACH OTHER IN ROWS ALL OVER THE CAN USING A GLUE GUN OR STRONG GLUE. PUT ASIDE 3 FELT BALLS FOR LATER.
STEP 5:
CUT OUT A SMALL OVAL FACE SHAPE AND TWO LITTLE EARS IN TEARDROP SHAPES FROM THE FELT. GLUE THEM ON TO THE PAINTED END OF THE CAN TO MAKE THE HEAD AND EARS. GLUE THE 3 REMAINING FELT BALLS TO THE HEAD AND ADD THE GOOGLY EYES.
STEP 6:
FOLLOW THE SAME PROCESS TO MAKE A COW OR PIG - JUST USE DIFFERENT COLOURS AND INSTEAD OF CUTTING AN OVAL FACE CUT AN OVAL 'SNOUT'. USE A PIPE CLEANER TO CREATE A CURLY PIG TAIL OR WOOL FOR THE COW'S TAIL. AND VOILA! LINE UP YOUR ANIMAL CREATIONS - THE PERFECT PLAYTIME PARTNERS FOR THE KIDS!
