Hey there, crafters! Today, let’s turn medicine caps into cool googly eyes. It’s a small project but perfect for making toys and plushies. Ready for some fun?
You’ll Need:
- Clean medicine wrappers
- Scissors
- Thick black and white paper
- Pencil
- Glue
Step 1: Gather Stuff
Get your supplies ready: medicine wrappers, scissors, thick paper, a pencil, and glue.
Step 2: Get the Caps Ready
Carefully take off the foil from the medicine wrapper without popping the cap. Cut out round caps – you’ll need two for a pair of googly eyes.
Step 3: Cut Shapes
Trace the cap on thick white paper and cut out two circles. Now, cut four circles from black paper for the center of the eyes. Glue two black circles together for thickness.
Step 4: Make the Eyes
Put a bit of glue around the white circles. Place the black circles in the center, making sure they don’t touch the glue. Put the plastic cap on top, so the edge is on the glue. Let it dry.
Get Fancy: Try Different Colors!
Make it exciting! Use different colors for the centers of the eyes. Mix and match for extra fun!
