Bottle cap animals

I'm going to tell you how to make bottle cap animals. They're actually pretty easy to make. All you need is:

1. felt (any color)

2. a hot glue gun

3. felt scissors

4. googly eyes

5. a bottle cap (any size)

6. any color marker.



 Before you begin, make sure you know which animal you are going to make. For example say that I am going to make an elephant. I would want to use a big bottle cap, and grey felt. For the face I would use a black marker so that it would be bold. To start out you want to take the glue gun and plug it in so it can warm up. Make sure that there is a tissue or a paper towel under it so that if it drips, then it won't get on the table or anything else. Then you want to measure the felt to make sure that it fits inside the bottle cap. Cut it out using felt scissors. If you don't have felt scissors then regular scissors are fine, but they are harder to handle then felt scissors. After you have done that then you put hot glue on the felt circle or the bottle cap and stick it on. Wait for a few minutes for it to dry and the use a marker to make a face. If you need or want to make ears for your animal then you should cut out any size felt and hot glue it to the back of the bottle cap so that the top is sticking out. If you want to, you can also put googly eyes on it to make it look like it has eyes.
