Squirrel from colored paper

It is not difficult to make a paper craft in the form of a squirrel even for a child. Bright and positive red-haired forest beauty made of colored paper with your own hands will amuse your kid and will become a wonderful decoration on the table in the children's room.

To make a paper squirrel we will need:

[INDENT]- yellow, orange and brown double sided half board;
- a stapler with staples;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- a simple pencil;
- scissors with a shaped blade;
- regular scissors;
- stationery glue;
- plastic eyes;
- black marker;
- gray gel pen[/INDENT]

Manufacturing Stages:

1. Let's start making the body of the squirrel. To do this, take an orange half-cardboard and cut out a small rectangle.

2. Roll into a tube. Fasten the ends with a stapler.

3. Now we make a big and fluffy tail for the squirrel. To do this, you will need yellow double-sided half-cardboard. Cut a square from it. It should be a little bigger than the squirrel's body.

4. Draw the silhouette of the tail with a simple pencil. It will roughly look like a large drop of water.

5. Cut out the contour with scissors.

6. Make beautiful wavy edges of the tail with special scissors.

7. Attach the tail to the back of the torso with a stapler.

8. Make paws for the squirrel. To do this, cut out 4 identical rectangles with rounded corners from an orange sheet of half-cardboard.

9. First, attach the handles.

10. To glue the legs to the squirrel, first bend the pieces in half.

11. Now glue them on the inside of the tube.

12. Make yellow fur for the squirrel's tummy. Draw on paper. Cut out with scissors.

13. Use scissors with a wavy blade to cut the edges.

14. Glue in the middle.

15. Now you can start the main part - making the head and face. You can make the same as shown in the photo, or you can invent your own variant. In any case, it should first be drawn with a simple pencil on orange half-cardboard, and then carefully cut out.

16. Glue on the plastic eyes.

17. With a black marker and a gray gel pen, draw small features of the squirrel's face.

18. Attach the head to the torso.

19. Decorate the squirrel's coat with wavy lines drawn with a marker and gel pen.

Our colored paper squirrel is ready! But, like a real red-haired beauty, it lacks one thing - a cone.

21. Cut out a cone silhouette from brown double-sided half-cardboard.

22. Use a gray gel pen to give the cone a more natural look. This completes the process of making the craft.
