Start by scrunching up newspaper

into a body shape. Use plenty of

sticky tape to hold it in shape.

Twist some strips of newspaper into

arms and legs. Again, use sticky tape

to hold them in shape.

Bend the bottom of the legs to make

feet.

Then scrunch up a thin ball of

newspaper to make a head. Use

more sticky tape to hold it in place.

Now that you have all the body

parts made, tape them all together.
Attach one at a time.

Just use plenty of tape and take

your time - don’t rush!

To make your figure stand up,

you need to make a base. Just cut

a piece of cardboard box card to

the right shape, and tape a

scrunched up pad of newspaper

onto it.

Now position your figure on

the base.

It doesn’t have to be in a standing
position it can be in any position

you like. This one’s walking,

for example.

To create the effect of a priceless

figurine, cover your creation in

aluminum foil.

You’ll need to use some double sided sticky tape or sticky tape loops for this.

Put your sticky tape loops onto the

back of your figurine’s back, head,

chest and so on, then simply cover

with pieces of aluminum foil.

Remember, you can do any shape,

size or pose of figure that you like.

Try it yourself!
