Instructions

Cut 4 paper strips. We cut outs across the width of a A4/letter sized paper. Ours were about a “finger” wide.

There are no rules as to how long or how wide the paper strips need to be – if your paper strips are longer you might need to use more than 4 paper strips to make a nice, full ball shape. So adjust the project as you go.

Younger kids can cut wider paper strips while older can cut thinner paper strips and use more of them.

Gently bend them in half, the fold marking the middle of the paper strips.

Apply a small amount of glue on the middle of the paper strip.

Place another paper strip on top of the first one, centred and at a 90 degree angle.

Glue on the other two, evenly spaced.

If you have more strips, add more trying to have them as evenly spaced as possible.

Next, take one end of one paper strip and apply glue on it.

Take the other end of the same paper strip and glue it together with the first end, making a circle loop.

Continue with all other paper strips, until you have a nice looking paper ball.

Cut antlers out of darker construction paper.

Fold them at the bottom end (L shape) and apply glue.

Stick them on the top of the paper ball.

Add two wiggle eye stickers or googly eyes.
