Believe it or not, you can create this unique dinosaur from a T-shirt!
|
In this final segment, craft guru Christy Feke demonstrates how to create fun dinosaurs and other animals from T-shirts! Inexpensive and easy to make, these cute critters make great gifts or party favors for kids. To create these soft sculptures, Feke simply wraps and twists colored T-shirts over and around wire forms of various shapes (created from a McCall's pattern book of wire animal patterns). As she twists the fabric in place, Feke secures it with chenille pipe cleaners (almost enough to cover the whole animal from head to tail), then decorates the finished creatures with paint to add details like eyes and scales! There's nothing ferocious about this kid craft! It's easy, fun and unique! Note: If the featured book is not available, check your local craft or sewing center for project books that include similar patterns. Or simply form your own freehand wire animal shapes.
