![]() ![]() Curl each of these pieces to start giving the fringe some definition.Make these cuts about one inch apart along each strip. Then cut each of these strips in the short direction about 1/2 to 3/4 of the width of the strip. For the fringe (hair, fur, feathers, whatever is on this llama), cut construction paper into about 2-1/2" wide strips.Be sure you are using the appropriate colors. All of this can be covered with solid/flat pieces of construction paper. You can cover the legs, hooves, tail, head, and underside of the llama between the legs. Starting at the bottom (feet) of the llama and working your way up, cut paper pieces to fit the area that needs to be covered and glue on to llama.It also leaves them very susceptible to bending. That way it leaves them sticking out separately. Other Note: I also did not put cardboard strips on the ears. If you want to make a pinata version, then leave the bottom portion open and cover with tissue paper in the next step. This lets you feed the llama (thinking of Valentine's cards) and open the saddle portion and access the inside. Note: I left the mouth and the back of the llama (the part under the saddle bag) open, with no cardboard sides. You can reach in (see note below) to the llama to tape the inside. Tape both sides of the card board as much as possible.Repeat as needed with all the cardboard strips until you've made your way around the llama.And its a little hard to keep the shape you need (90 degree), until your strip makes a few bends around the corners and gets taped up. It's much easier to start at an edge or corner and tape to the next edge or corner. Take a cardboard strip and start from any location on the llama side and start taping the two together at a 90 degree angle. Start with one of the llama body sides.I typically like to use hot glue for all of my cardboard projects, but with my son helping, we decided to just tape everything together with masking tape. ![]() So you could remove the tail in your sketch and just round off its rump, then add crepe paper, ribbon, or similar as a tail later. The actual loot llama has something more similar to streamers as a tail. For example, I made the tail one solid piece. Note: I didn't capture all the detail of the llama in the sketch, just the basic shape. More on why you do this in the next step. So I ended up with a grid on top of the sketch that was 3 squares wide by 4 squares tall. I did this both horizontally and vertically. Basically every 10 graph paper squares, I drew a line across the page. I drew a grid that represented 10x10 squares on the graph paper. Draw a grid on top of the llama sketch using some of the lines on the graph paper.Make a side profile sketch on a standard piece of grid paper (8-1/2 x 11) of your llama based on your own talent or something you find online. ![]() It also helped to search 'loot llama coloring page' because that gave me more two-dimensional(ish) options that made my sketch easier. Since I am not much of an artist, I searched online for the best images of the loot llama.
