Check out these Finger Tips Lazy Legs - so called because of their lazy looking legs. But they don't stay lazy for long! You can make any animal you like - you could even use your pet for inspiration. They might look difficult to make but they're quite easy. To make the zebra, take an ordinary drinks straw and cover it in lots of pieces of masking tape. This gives extrta strength. When covered, paint white and when the paint has dried, paint or draw on some black stripes. The zebra's body is made from half a sweet tube. Again, paint white then when dry, paint or draw on more black stripes. Cut the drinking straw into eight equal pieces... ...and then, using a sharp pencil, make a hole at the top and bottom of the sweet tube. Next, turn the tube over and make four more holes, two at either end, for the legs. To bring the whole thing together you'll need four pieces of thread. Stretchy jewellery elastic works really well for this. Tie the four threads into two pairs, like this. Now make four holes, using a sharp pencil, in the base of a small, empty crisp tube. Stretch two elastic bands around the crisp tube, making sure that they're in the middle. The zebra's head is made from a cone of black card, whilst and the nose is made from one of the eight segments of drinking straw. Push the thread through the zebra's head, then thread on the neck, then a black button. Thread that whole thing through the zebra's body, through the hole in the top of the sweet tube. Separate the threads inside the body and push one through each hole in the bottom of the sweet tube. The legs are made from two lengths of drinking straw and a bead. Attach the zebra to the crisp tube by threading through the holes you made earlier. Add a bit of fabric for a tail, use another piece for the mane, and stick on a pair of googly eyes. Turn the crisp tube upside down and get both pairs of thread. Make a knot twice in and around the elastic bands... ...then test. It should work beautifully! Here's a tiger made using the same principle... ...and an elephant too!
