Zebras and tigers and snakes... oh my! 3
You can sculpt any animal with regular, everyday
aluminium foil. Yep! To make them, tear sheets
of foil and start crushing, bending and twisting
to form your animal shape. Add more foil for
features like a long neck, extra legs or wings.
Once you’re happy with the general shape, wrap
the entire animal with short strips of masking
tape. Use a brush and plenty of Mod Podge to
cover it with small pieces of tissue paper. Once
dry, paint with acrylic paint to add details. Let dry.2

Rescue a stack of clean containers with lids
from your recycling bin then wrap them in colourful gift-wrapping,
sticking down the paper at the back with a glue stick. Cut a series
of shapes to look like monster eyes, mouths, tongues, teeth and
eyebrows using offcuts of contrasting papers. Glue them in place,
let dry then load up your cool containers with all your goodies.Monster storage
