Plastic Bag Horse

by Gili Kozin Ulmer
(Tel Aviv, Israel)

Materials

2 plastic bags, preferably in 2 different colors.
Crumpled newspaper for stuffing
Cellotape
Permanent pens/markers
Scissors


Instructions

Stuff one corner of the plastic bag with egg shaped crumpled newspaper to form the horse’s head.

Tighten the nose area with a ring of cellotape.

Secure the head and form the neck with cellotape.

Form another crumpled newspaper egg and stuff the plastic bag in the place the body should be (which is right behind and slightly under the neck).

Secure and form the body with Cellotape.

If you have some unsecured plastic bag left- divide it to 4 and form it into legs with Cellotape. If not- use half of the second plastic bag for this purpose.

Cut what’s left of the second plastic bag into strips and stick them with cellotape for the mane and tail.

Draw the eyes and mouth with your permanent pens.

Good luck!
