What You'll Need

  1. Construction Paper: White, Yellow, Blue, Black

  2. (2) Pipe Cleaners: Lt. Brown, Gold, or Yellow

  4. Tacky Glue or Glue Gun

  5. Glue Stick

The Steps


PREP

  1. Turn your yellow paper vertically, fold it in half, and then glue it together.

  2. Cut rounded edges at the top and leave the body straight or create a wavy body.

  3. Draw a large oval in the center part of the body in pencil, then paint the outside in gold.

OVERALLS

  1. Fold the blue paper into fourths and cut 1/4 section out.

  2. Face the 1/4th section vertically, fold it in half, and cut around the upper corner to create a suspender, then the bottom area for the legs.

  3. Open up the overalls, trace the gluestick, draw the M on the logo, fill in the logo, and draw the pocket.

DETAILS

  1. Trace the opening and bottom of the medicine cup for the goggles on the white paper 2x, then color them in, and add small dots around the rings.

  2. Trace the gluestick in the middle of the rings (iris) and the end of a colored pencil(pupil), and color them in before cutting out the goggles and eyes together.

  3. Draw a wide open mouth, including upper and lower teeth, a tongue, and shadows, then cut it out.

  4. Fold over your black paper and draw a boot, goggle strap, and glove before cutting them all out.

ASSEMBLE

  1. Glue the overalls closer to the bottom, the boots, the mouth, the goggle straps, and the goggles.

  2. Twist the ends of the pipe cleaners together, glue the gloves onto the opposite ends, position the arms how you’d like them, and then glue them to the back of the Tim in a V position. Use Tacky Glue and a heavy item or hot glue, we used both methods.

    That’s it!


Aren’t these cute?

If made on a larger scale with poster board, it can be a great party decoration or used as a classroom door decoration.


Happy crafting
