Decorative hedgehog from egg trays

Egg trays are often reused for their intended purpose or simply sent to the trash can. But many wonderful things can be made from these seemingly unnecessary trays. A little effort, glue and paint and a cute hedgehog is ready. This idea will be very entertaining to bring to life together with the children.

So, let's start with the body of the hedgehog. To do this, you need wrapping paper, which should be tightly rolled up. The result should be a cone-shaped body. The size is determined by you. In this case, the length is 15 cm. We proceed to the muzzle of a hedgehog, it can be made from one empty cell of the tray. To do this, cut it to the very base and make it pointed.

To connect the torso and muzzle, ordinary PVA glue or hot glue is suitable. The next step is to prepare the hedgehog needles. We begin to disassemble the tray and leave the blanks, as shown in the photo below.

Having cut the workpiece on one side, we unfold a line of ready-made 4 needles. Next, we begin to glue the needles in the sequence, as in the photo below.

Now let's get down to the small details, such as paws, nose, ears. We draw paws on the egg cell and cut them out. The cut tip of the cell will become the spout.

Having flattened the bottom of two cells, we get neat ears for our hedgehog.

It remains only to paint the hedgehog with acrylic paints, giving it a natural look. Eyes can be drawn, or beads can be glued.
