Cork Wire Giraffes

Who says that corks can't be fun? With some cork, thin wire, bits of yarn, toothpicks, and other supplies, youc an make a really cute giraffe creature. It is easy too. Look at the picture above. The corks are held together by thin wire. Use a bigger cork for the body...and smaller corks for the neck...if you don't have different sized corks, just use one for the body and for the neck, you don't need to use any corks at all....just the wire. You could use something else for the face, such as a marker cap. The legs are made up of toothpicks. The tail and hair is made from yarn. The ears are made from felt. Remember, you don't have to use the same design as the picture, you can use different crafts supplies.
How to Make Clothespin Giraffes

If you printed it out in black and white, you can color it with crayons, colored pencils, or markers. Then fold neck of giraffe accordion style (forwards and backwards a few times) so there will be six 3/8" folds. Use yarn for tail. Fasten clothespins to body to make legs (sketch b).

Making Giraffes from Pipe Cleaners

To make these adorable giraffes, you are going to need some pipe cleaners (aka chenille stems). Look at the diagrams above to help you figure out which ways to twist and bend them. Bend one of the pipe cleaners for the giraffe's head. Then cut one more in two for the giraffe's legs and bend a small piece for the giraffe's ears. Wind another pipe cleaner around the giraffe's body to finish it off. You can be creative and follow your own ways of making these giraffes. Enjoy.
