Steps to make the iceberg for the penguin and video for instructions to follow shortly.
Iceberg idea 1 - Making an enclosed iceberg for the penguin.
Step 1: Find a card board box suitable for the penguin to sit in and cut 1 or 2 of the sides out for penguin.
Step 2: Use PVA glue to paste the inside and outs of the box all over and place tissue paper in large pieces over the box the glue into place.
Step 3: Scrunch tissue paper up and place onto the inside of the box to pad and raise the surface and paste more tissue paper over with PVA glue.
To finish, add sparkles and sprinkles with glue pasted on the box already randomly and a ribbon to the top of the box so that it can be hung up.
This can be tied on if 2 holes are made in each side of the box with a pair of scissors or with tape, as the model should be quite light in weight.
Simply tie a knot in each end and use on a door or wall for decoration or Christmas tree if you have one.
Step 1: Take a cereal packet and glue the base if it isn’t stuck with PVA glue.
Step 2: Cut the card with scissors in an irregular shape or rip the card in an uneven shape.
Step 3: Place 3 layers of cardboard on the base to build a platform. Cut he card or rip it.
Step 4: Paste tissue paper over all the front and back of the iceberg.
Step 5: Cut into the car from an angle and place some ribbon and tie a bow or knot.
Step 6: Use sprinkles and glitter and cotton wool to finish and to display.
