  Step 1

  Start by making the torso of the tortoise using whole lolly sticks. This will form the basis for the subsequent steps. Have the sticks overlap a little so that they can be glued together using a glue gun.

• 

  Step 2

  Craft or other scissors or secateurs can be used to trim the sticks to size. Attach half-sticks at the ‘joints’ on the torso, trimming the sticks in between to size with the scissors and sticking everything down.

• 

  Step 3

  For the inner of the shell, create a hexagon of sticks and attach two more hexagons made out of shorter sticks to it.

• 

  Step 4

  Once the hexagons have been combined, they can be linked to the rest of the shell with appropriate-length sticks.

• 

  Step 5

  Now create the tortoise’s head. You can even use cut-offs from the previous steps for this.

• 

  Step 6

  Next, build and attach the front legs to the shell.

• 

  Step 7

  Do the same for the hind legs.

• 

  Step 8

  The tortoise shape is now complete. Paint in a nice colour, applying multiple layers if necessary.
