We have been working on building minecraft creepers and Enderman. To do this we have to use scissors, pencils, rulers, tape and even a treadle sewing machine!The creeper desk organizer is made from recycle items the head is a berry box. the body milk carton. the feet holders are cookie sleeves. The creeper is covered using an torn Christmas felt stocking we re-purposed all these items from our home recycling bin. Enderman is made from left over upholstery material, foam no longer useful as ground cover when we camp, sleep out. As well some stuffing from our worn out pillows.
