Froggy Pencil Holder

Time:25 min Difficulty:Easy  

Hopping to upcycle your plastic bottles? You’ll toadally love this Froggy Pencil Holder!

Here’s what you need:

  • 2 plastic drink bottles (make sure you’re reusing ones you already have)
  • Scissors
  • Paint
  • Glue
  • Paper, felt, or foam sheets in 2 different colours

Here’s how you make it:

Step 1: Cut the top off your first bottle and the bottom off your second. For this craft, you’ll only need the first bottle and the bottom piece from the second. Why not save the rest for another craft?

Step 2: Paint the outside of your pieces the same color. When the paint is dry, flip the bottom piece upside-down and add two big eyes. This will be your frog’s head and the other piece will be your frog’s body.

TIP: You might need to do more than one coat of paint.

Step 3: Let’s add some details! What kind of pattern do you want to give your frog? You can paint a nice round belly on your bottle or add plenty of colorful spots.

Step 4: While your paint is drying, cut a tongue out of the first colour of paper/foam/felt, and cut a set of frog legs out of the second.

Step 5: Finish your frog by gluing the tongue to the inside of the bottom piece and the legs to the outside of the larger piece. Slide the frog’s head over its body and your new Froggy Pencil Holder is complete!

Don’t froget to make your frog happy by adding pens and pencils in its belly!
