- Now seal off your baggie at the top. Set aside.
- Grab all your cardstock paper and scissors. Using our pictures as an example, cut out a large circular head, some ears, legs, hair etc for your sheep.

Make it your own – if you decide popcorn isn’t your thing {that’s totally cool!} you can also use pre-shredded white crinkle paper that you can find at the Dollar Tree. The steps are still the same from above but you would be just doing a different “sheep wool” in the inside.
