3. Make legs with short lengths of brown paper and attach to the body. Glue a 7cm length of black paper to 7cm white. Coil this length, starting with black and ending with white. Glue the eye to the robin and make another. For the beak, take a 10cm length of yellow, make a loose coil and pinch into a triangle.
4. Attach the robin onto a circle of cream card, then mount onto a larger green sphere. To create a hat, fringe a 20cm length of pink paper with the fringing tool. Make a tight coil and glue the end in place.
