Materials
- Colored cardstock or construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Bright & Bold markers optional
- Waxy yarn sticks
- Money Template
Instructions
- Download the money template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
- Optional: Draw three diagonal lines and 2 starbursts at the top of the clasp using a white marker. This is to make it look like the light is reflecting off of it.
- Glue the eyes on both sides just beneath the eyebrows. You can use the eyes included in the template or if you need bigger sizes, you can use googly eyes.
- Attach the clasp to the bottom of the money piece.
- Next, take the back of the money and glue it to the back and right of the money.
- Take red waxy yarn and shape in into the shape of the glasses. Trim off any pieces you don't need. Press firmly into the paper to keep it in place. No glue is needed.
- Take 2 black waxy yarn sticks and create a hand on one side by folding the yarn a few times. Repeat with the 2nd yarn stick. Press the hands onto the money, just below the glasses.
- Finish up by creating legs out of black waxy yarn strips. Then press the legs on the back and bottom section of the body.
Notes
If you don't have access to waxy yarn sticks, you can also try pipe cleaners. The glasses, hands, and legs won't be as small and you will have to glue the pieces on, but it is the next best alternative.
