Christmas figures made of cardboard boxes and yarn

1 Cut out a square of strong corrugated board from a cardboard box – this should be 9 x 15 cm or larger. Cut off the corners as well as a little from the bottom if needed, as shown in the picture.

2 Stick the cardboard pieces together to form figures and glue together with Sticky Base, which is applied with your fingers. Allow to dry completely – ideally until the next day.

3 Apply Sticky Base adhesive with your fingers and spread it lightly over some of the cardboard – both front and back. Now, wrap thick woollen yarn around the cardboard. Repeat and continue.

4 Make eyes out of Silk Clay® and a nose out of yarn. Wind up the yarn, mix it with Sticky Base and glue it on – or twist it into a tight, flat spiral onto a small piece of cardboard and stick it down with Sticky Base.

Variant The Christmas figurines can also be wrapped in thick acrylic yarn.
