What do you need?
For the people: Beads, lots of them that can stack on top of each other. Some fabric, something natural or a boring brown…it’s conflicts with my pink hair! Find some string, a fine point marker, some paint if you want to color beads or need a sticky surface for your marker and some glue.
For the flock: Something fuzzy…hmmm. A snip or two off that old dust rag, some dark colored string, a tiny rubberband or anything to make a sheep body and some wire – the same wire for shepherds staff.
glue…it seems we love to get sticky with glue!
