PDF VERSION

Materials Needed:

* Various colors of Pacon® KolorFast® Tissue Paper

* Fadeless® Art Board - 1 Red, 1 Green & 1 Yellow

* 2 Large Wiggly Eyes

* Green Spectra® Glitter Sparkling Crystals

* White Glue or Mod Podge

* Paint Brush

 

Instructions:

1. Give It Shape: Cut out an oval for the frogs body, 2 long strips, and 2 short strips from a sheet of green Fadeless Art Board. Glue the shorter strips at one end of the oval and the other strips on the opposite end.

2. Make it dimensional: Crumple up 2 balls of tissue paper one small and one large. These will give the frogs body and head shape. Glue the balls of paper onto the oval. The smaller one by the short legs and the larger one by the back legs.

3. Give It Feet: Cut four pieces of 4"x4" tissue paper and fold it in half the long way twice. Then fold it back and forth to give it a webbed affect. Glue the feet to the top ends of the legs.

4. Wrap It: Tear random shapes and sizes of Kolorfast Tissue Paper, then begin gluing the pieces around the body and legs of the frog. Use the paint brush to spread the glue and flatten the pieces against the shape of the body. REMEMBER: You will need to make a mouth so leave a space in the front so the mouth can open. (If you crease the legs in random places it will give it a more life like form).

5. Add Taste! Cut a strip of red art board for the tongue and a 1/2 oval of yellow for inside the mouth. Glue the yellow to the bottom part of the mouth then add the tongue.

6. Embellish: Add 2 large wiggly eyes to the head and some dots of green glitter to the frogs back.
