Instructions:
- An adult will need to cut the top off of the milk jug – leaving the handle intact
- use double sided tape to line the inside of the top/front and sides of the jug
- cut 4-inch pieces of raffia and stick them to the double-sided tape
- fold the raffia over and secure it with more double-sided tape on the outside of the jug, (shown above)
- or use another type of tape to hold it in place
- *(clear tape or masking tape will somewhat hold it in place, but it is not as strong as the double-sided tape. I have in the Amazon links above)
- use the double sided tape to attach the eyes
- cut a large triangle nose from the foam and use tape to secure that to the jug
- use the puffy paint to make a smile with stitches
