How to Make a Hairy Paper Cup Monster Craft
1 – Start your hairy monster craft by painting a paper cup with orange acrylic paint. (Or any other colour you fancy!)
2 – Once the paint is dry, turn your cup upside down. To create the monster’s fur, cut short lengths of orange yarn ( about an inch or 2.5 cms) and glue them all around the base of the paper cup.
3 – Keep adding a row of yarn strips until you reach the top of your cup.
4 – Carefully cut two short slits in the bottom of the cup. (Adults only.)
5 – To make the monster’s menacing stare, glue googly eyes onto the end of popsicle sticks. Then insert them into the slits you cut in step four. You can add as many eyes as you like!
6 – Next cut out a mouth shape from black paper and cut and stick little white triangle teeth.
7 – Finish off your paper cup hairy monster craft by gluing on his mouth. Now he’s ready to growl and roar!!!
I hope you like this paper cup monster craft. Have fun designing your own hairy monsters. It’s fun to try lots of different colours. you can also create lots of different mouth designs and add a different number of eyes. Happy Halloween!
