| Don't you just hate it when you go to the kitchen for some savoury snacks and you find the tub's empty?
|
 |
| Well, if you make this you can give those serial snackers in your family the surprise of their life!
Take a loo roll tube, or cut down a kitchen roll tube.
|
 |
|
Cover the tube in fur fabric.
Just apply lines of glue to the back of the fabric and roll it around the tube.
|
 |
|
Glue the ends of the fabric and tuck them inside the tube.
|
 |
| Next, cut a thin strip of fur fabric to make a tail...
|
 |
|
...and stick this to the body.
|
 |
|
Cut a triangle of fur fabric and fold it together to make a head shape.
Stick this inside the other end of the tube.
|
 |
|
Punch a couple of holes in some white paper and use the circles for eyes.
Draw on pupils with a black felt tip pen.
|
 |
|
Cut some ears from coloured card and stick these, and the eyes, onto the face.
|
 |
|
That completes your rodent.
Next, half blow up a long balloon.
|
 |
|
Pop the balloon into the tub, and tie it up once you've achieved a snug fit.
|
 |
|
Ease the balloon into the tub, so that there's just enough room to pop the rodent on top, and that when the lid is removed, the rodent will fly out.
|
 |
|
Pop the rodent inside, and pop the lid on carefully.
|
 |
|
The next time your serial snacker is helping him or herself, they rodent will fly out, giving them quite a surprise!
