'Shalom the Horse' by Cap'n Mad Ellen
I like the shell buttons (scoured from the Button Box) that I used to attach the legs to Shalom!
Effervescent Ethel's pegasus/horse 'Midnight'
Round up:
-horse patterns (see link below)
-cardboard
-heavy duty craft scissors
-glue (we used Mod Podge because school glue isn't up to the task)
-pencil, to trace
-buttons
-clothespins (optional but helpful with holding the glued parts together whilst they dry)
-craft wire (bendable craft wire!)
-specialty paper, paint or ink
-filament or similar if you choose to hang up your horse. I might glue on a larger paper clip to my back of my horse and turn it into a Christmas ornament.
Cost: ΓΈ
Instead of painting our horses we chose instead to use recycle greeting cards. Note: *I wouldn't recommend this craft/art project to children under the age of 9-10. I ended up doing most of the crafting. Cutting out the cardboard, threading the buttons onto the wire and cutting the wire (paid a few visits to the ship's doc) is too difficult for most children unless they are blessed with superhuman manual dexterity powers. Ship's bandage supply greatly diminished!
