a bunny dog made of an old plastic woodglue bottle and other scraps and paper mache.
When i was working on the tute for the paper bunnydoll i wrote the note you can make for her a dog or a friend.
so i thought why don't i make one ?
so... i did.LOL
i have made him of scaps i had around me so it didn't cost me anyhting.
but when i had done the shape i thought oooh it would be nice to give him some fur, but all my fake fur is allready wrapped in boxes in front of my moving.-S Told myself Jet be creative you can make your own fur, I have made for the fur a tute .
so when you want to make that look on that tute how you can make it yourself.
You always can painted him and draw with a maker lines as hair on it.
I hope you like him and be creative and have fun .

Note the time is without drying time.
i didn't used floor paste because i wanted the letters to see throught the paint and i wanted a light weitghte dog.
He looks heavy , but that's just fake.LOL

thank you for stopping by.

Step 1
I had this wood glue bottle you can use any other empty plastic botle you have around you.
Step 2
Draw with a marker the holes where the legs of your dog must come underneat the botle.
Step 3
Draw with the marker the hole where the head must come above the bottle.
Step 4
Measuring the electirc wire and cut it off.
You need 3 pieces of 40 cm or 3 pieces of 18 inches.
Step 5
Fold one piece in two,
Step 6
Push this folded piece through the hole for the head, watch the picture.;-D
Step 7
take one straight and push it through the hole of the leg and then through the lob of the head wire and then through the last hole on the other side of the front legs.
Watch the picutre;-D
Step 8
pull the last leg through the holes and you will becoming something like this
Step 9
Now we must make reshape the botle into a dog.
make clots of paper and tape them all around your bottle to give it a body shape;-D
Step 10
Now we must make reshape the botle into a dog.
make clots of paper and tape them all around your bottle to give it a body shape;-D
Step 11
the messy part.
i love this part, rip off a bunch of stokes of paper and glue them with the pva glue and lay them on the clots of the body.
you need three layers of them to make it stabilise and strong.
let it dry 24 hours.
Step 12
Give this body shape a thick layer of wood glue. and let it dry.
Step 13
wrap some strokes with pva glue around the wire legs, don't make them tooo thick because it must be have a funny not fitting look.
Step 14
put some folded glued strokes on the end to make feets on the legs. let it dry and give it some layer of wood gue as well.
Step 15
when the body or legs is drying you can start with the cut out parts of the head of carton.
You can use mine pattern or make your own, I have later on modified it a little bit, i have made the head a tiny bit smaller and gave him bigger ears.!!!!!
Note :
the head is part B.
So the parts of the mouth with the B side must be on taped on the head.
The A side is the front side.
First fold all the parts of the under mouth ( part 3) and tape the end shape in side of it. (part2)
Then fold the above side of the mouth and connect it with some tape it on the under side and tape it down on the head.
Now you can tape clots on the head with tape on the front side.
Just watch the directions of the attachments and the picture.;-D
Step 16
Give the back side some clots as well to give it a nice shape,
If you like you can give the front a nose
and lips. Give this all a nice papermache layer of three and some thick layer of wood glue as well.
Let it dry.
Step 17
Back to the feets.
wrap on the above side some clots fix them with tape. Wrap some paper mache stips around the neck as well.
wrap it with some layers of paper mache and at last give it some woodglue.
and let it dry.
Step 18
Glue the head above the body,
you must suport the head when it's drying with some bottles and jars of the right hight.
i didn't got of that a picture but this is i think a understandable thing without a picture.;-D
Step 19
Now it's fun time.
i always like to paint.LOL
i have chosen for to a thin layer with some paint with much spoon lepels of white glue throught it mixed to have it a transparant look.
you wil see the text throught your paint.;-D The parts you will give an other colour you can leave them blank.:-D
Step 20
okay. now you can start with giving the self made fur, for that i have made a separete tute.
It will take tooo long for that on this one and when you choice to make the fur i advice you to
jump to that tute . You will find it here on my projects.
Or draw or paint the fur.
Or .....don't do that at all, it’s your own choice;-D
Just be creative.;-D
Step 21
When you had choosen for the fake fur, add on te sides around the ears and the face some strokes of the fur.
In between give the face some more colours to give him a funny look.
Step 22
One other thing for the ones that have choossen for the fake fur :
Pick up your sharpies or your markers and draw lines on the hair/yarn.
You can smugde the lines a little bit so it will looks more naturely;-D

Note when you don’t use water rissitable markers or sharpies you can give it a layer of hair spray as well;-D
Step 23
Give the bunny dog a head , just glue some fabric on the had , use white glue or wood glue,
and do the outside as well. This will give a smooth look.;-D
Step 24
Glue on some rose beads on the eyes, i have made with a dry brush with the edge some white on them to m ake them a little bit softer.
Draw a black or a blue spot in the heart of t he flower bead.
Colouring some more of the face.
Step 25
At last glue some bunches of yarn with glue on the tap on the end and difficult places and..
glue on the tail some wrapped chenille wire and on aside the hat as well and.....
your ready to enjoy your doggy.

Hope you like your new pet, or give him away.
it was fun to make this one as well.;-D
