1 Paint the cardboard tubes with craft paint.
2 Alternatively, cover some of the cardboard tubes with paper or card. Here we have secured the paper around the tube with a blob of Sticky Base.
3 Decorate the cardboard tubes with self-adhesive googly eyes etc. Make the nose by rolling a small piece of pipe cleaner into a coil. Attach the nose onto the tube with a small blob of Sticky Base.
4 Make stripes by wrapping pipe cleaners around the tube.
5 Fold a pipe cleaner in half and attach it onto the inside of the tube with a small blob of Sticky Base.
6 Attach pom-poms for the ears on these amusing creatures.
7 Stick the tubes together with blobs of Sticky Base between each tube.
8 Make the base by attaching Sticky Base around the edges of the tubes. Press the tubes onto a piece of card.
9 Once the Sticky Base is dry (takes approx. 24 hours), cut around the tubes.
10 The finished pencil holder ready for use.
