Directions:
- First get the glue gun hot and ready.

- Allow it to dry completely. Repeat for each bear friend you want to make today.
- Now grab your craft paint, paper plate and form brush.
- Squirt some gray craft paint on the paper plate.
- Using the foam paint brush, paint the flat side of your popsicle stick shape completely gray.
- Set it aside to let it dry completely.
- While that is drying, go ahead and grab your cardstock, marker and scissors.
- Out of the gray cardstock, cut out a large circle head for the koala, as well as ears and feet.
- Out of the black cardstock cut out a long nose for the bear.
- Glue together the head, ears and nose pieces to complete the koala’s face.
- Take the black Sharpie marker and draw on the mouth & some embellishments on his feet for some added dimension.
- Go ahead and also glue the wiggle eyes in place, as well.
- Set aside the paper pieces till the last step.
- Now grab your craft yarn, the painted popsicle stick shape and your craft scissors.
- Take one end of your yarn and hot glue it to the back of your popsicle stick koala bear body shape.
- Start wrapping the yarn SEVERAL times around the popsicle stick base, until you have the look you like.
- When ready, cut the yarn and use the hot glue gun again, to secure the loose end to the back of the popsicle stick base.
- Now go ahead and glue ALL the paper pieces to the yarn wrapped popsicle stick shape from earlier.
- Add any other embellishments you see fit.
- Then let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
