You need to sea this great gift idea! It is always a hit at parties as a favor, part of a centerpiece, snack holder or simply a fun craft to make and share any time of year.
This - in case you haven't figured it out yet...ocean themed! Meet Mr. Walrus! :)
I drew him on a piece of soft colored foam and gave him a front and back. He is embellished with poster paint, pieces of other colors of foam, googly eyes and white embroidery thread for his whiskers.
I asked Google what a walrus eats. The answer was mostly fish and sea pickles (Yup, You read that correctly and yes, sea pickles do look like pickles!)
Here's what a sea pickle looks like in real life: (right)
Rather than draw a sea pickle, I drew a small fish. Sea him, tucked under one of his fins?
so he wouldn't be hungry but then I looked at Mr. Walrus's size. There is no way he has only been eating small fish, right? (LOL) So I decided to go "big" and added two big yellow fish to his supply!
All three fish were embellished with googly eyes, various scrap colored foam pieces, outlined with poster paint markers and accented with a black Sharpie marker.
How Did I Get Him To Stand?
Ohhh so glad you asked! He is glued to a pastry bag! The pastry bag is filled (anchored, ah hem) ;) with candy and secured with a twisty tie. You can fill these pastry bags with any small snack such as raisins, baby carrots, nuts, ect. or have some fun and fill them with candy such as M&M's, bite size chocolate candy bars, powdered hot chocolate or some yummy pudding.
I think I'm going to make an octopus next.
Until next time...
