If you like to keep an eye on what's going on, you'll love this Cryptic Finger Tip!

All you need is a piece of card that's big enough to cover your head and shoulders - as Fearne is demonstrating here!
Mark where the eye holes will be, by stretching out your index and middle fingers and make two little crosses on the card.

That leaves you with roughly the right distance for the eye holes. Time to draw the face now, based on where the holes are.
You now need to cut the eye holes out.

Take a pencil and some modelling clay. Put the clay underneath and pierce the pencil through the card into the modelling clay. These holes give you a starting point to make proper eye shapes with some scissors.
When done, turn the nosey neighbour over and take another piece of paper or card that's big enough to cover up the eye holes.

Stick it down with tape on the top egde, which leaves you with a hinged flap.
Now paint your nosey neighbour!

Black is a good background colour to choose, as it'll look like he's standing behind a window.

Then, drawing through the eye holes onto the flap of card behind, draw some fake eyes.
In the studio, Fearne made a nosey neighbour alien, but you could try a cat or a cartoon of one of your friends - anything you like, really!

The trick works best on those who don't know the secret of how it works. Sticking him in a window will allow you to keep an inconspicuous eye on things!
