Hi I'm Sophie and welcome to my world and it's time for another way back
Wednesday you know this is a super fun series for me because it gives me a
chance to look back at some of our older videos and I realized how some of these
crafts just totally tickle me and this is one of those crafts that just does it
for me I don't know why there are so many crafts that we have done so many
cute crafts but for some reason this is just one of my all-time favorites it
just makes me giggle every time I look at it and so I hope
you enjoy this way back Wednesday it is a groundhog pop-up puppet
hi I'm Sophie and welcome to my world today we're going to be making a
Groundhog Day craft and it's going to be using some recycled materials we're
going to be using socks so if you have any of those socks that have lost their
partner this is a great craft for that we're also going to be using a paper cup
some stuffing some rubber bands some googly eyes which I love
we're going to need a pen that has a point to it like a ballpoint pen and
we're gonna need a indelible marker some scissors and then the only tricky thing
that you might be hard to find is a dowel I need a wooden dowel that's about
18 inches long you're gonna need that because your groundhog is gonna pop up
and down so you are gonna need a stick that's at least three times as big as
your cup that's the important thing okay so the first thing I'm gonna do is
I am going to hot glue this stick into my sock now this is one of those points
where you want to make sure that you're very very careful
turning my sock inside out and you want to be really careful here because this
is an easy way for you to get burned because hot glue and fabric are not a
good match when it comes to keeping your fingers safe so what I'm going to do is
I'm actually gonna put the hot glue onto the stick and this is always a good
point to use adult supervision okay now I'm gonna take the toe of the sock I'm
gonna spread it open here like that and I'm gonna place my stick now see how
I've got it it's kind of like a trampoline there see how my hand is
making the trampoline so that the hot glue is not touching my skin at all and
now once it cools down a little bit then I can slowly slowly slowly get it
secured in there okay now you can see my sock is secured inside excuse me my
stick is secured inside my sock is what I meant to say okay now I'm going to
give myself some ears now to make my ears I'm just gonna pull up the corners
of my sock and I'm gonna take some rubber bands
and I'm just gonna rubberband these what I like to do with rubber bands is once
they get to a certain once I get twice around there I can usually get four at
the same time there there we go and I'm gonna go to the other side here and
again I'm going to kind of just take a little Poochie there and take my rubber
band wrap it around once twice pull both of them so that I get it to go around
four times here the smaller the rubber band the easier that is okay now you can
see he's got some ears now I want to stuff his head now the one thing that's
really important here don't overstuff your head because if you over stuff your
head and it's bigger than the cup part at the top here his head won't go down
so you want to make sure that you only make your head as big as the small
bottom part here I'm gonna stuff his head and I'm gonna make sure that it
gets stuffing on both sides of the sticky there we go both sides of that
stick there we go and now what I'm going to do is take another rubber band smoosh
that up a little bit so that it gets up at the top of the stick there there you
go I can see his little head is forming and
then I'm gonna take another rubber band rubber band it around once
twice it really only needs to go twice here because it's just making his little
neck and there we go so there you can see there's his head now of course he
needs some eyes and to do his eyes I'm just going to take a little bit of this
hot glue put it here and here attach his little eyes actually attach his big eyes
there we go and if I had any puff balls or anything
like that I could use a puff ball for a nose but I'm actually gonna draw his
nose on there we go and I'm gonna make mine a happy groundhog so I'm gonna give
him a nice big smile with my pen there we go
now if I want you I can give him little arms and I can do
arms the same way that I did those ears so I'm just gonna give him a little arm
pulling that up like that got it around twice get this two to get it to four there we
go and on the other side I'm gonna do the same thing pull a little fabric
rubber bandsand now we're ready to make him come out of his hole
now to do that I'm gonna need a cup just get this last little hand there there
you go now you can see it's got his
little hands okay now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this cup and I'm gonna
put a hole right in the center at the bottom here so there's my hole and then
you can see what happens is I'm just gonna take my stick and stick it right
through that hole and now I'm gonna take glue and glue my little body the outside
here I'm just going to do that by taking a little bit of hot glue I'm going to do
this a little bit at a time and start with the back because again I'm using
fabric when I'm using fabric it's very easy to get burned and so what I'm gonna
do is I'm gonna open this up roll it down over top making sure not to get my
fingers into the hot glue itself because that would hurt and we don't want any
911 calls while we're filming okay and so now I'm gonna go around again with
the remainder you know if you're nervous about this you can always just let it
dry for about 10 seconds that cools it down so it'll get a little tacky and
that's okay okay I'm gonna put that down in there and there was my little
groundhog and see you can see that that's when he's fully extended out of
his hole and then when you want him to pop down into his hole there he goes
so you can come up and you can say mr. groundhog are we going to have six
more weeks of winter come up slowly now just to show you what else you can
make you can make a magical bunny if you wanted to and in this case what we did
is I just took the cup and I took a black plate and I actually cut the black
plate and put it around the top of the cup so that now I have a buddy and he
can come out of the hat and he can do a little dance if you like him to do for
more eye-popping ideas come and check us out at Sophie-world.com
