Lamb Fridge Magnet

By Mayank Sharma. Posted

Just by looking at them, you can tell that cotton buds would lend themselves to some nice arts and crafts projects.

Follow the lead of the creative minds at Fab Art DIY to use the cotton buds to create a cute lamb. Sheep are white, so you don’t really need to paint over the buds – you can use them as they are.

Start by drawing a large oval and a small oval on a piece of white cardboard and cut them out. These will serve as the lamb’s body and its head.

Cut the cotton ends from the cotton swab, along with a small portion of the shaft. Glue these onto the large oval and a select few on the top of the lamb’s head, including two for its ears, leaving enough room to draw on its face. Use a pen to draw the eyes, mouth, and nose on its face.

You can glue a magnet on the back of the body of the lamb to use it as a fridge magnet or glue two clothes-pins to the back to make it stand.
