Instruction
Cute hedgehogs can be made from paper egg trays. Make the body of the hedgehog. Crumple up a sheet of wrapping paper compactly, forming an elongated cone about 15 cm in size. The size limit can be changed depending on the desired size of the hedgehog. Cut the egg carton into individual cells. From one element, prepare a muzzle by gluing it to the pointed end of the base cone with hot glue.
Cut each cell into 4 separate drops with a sharp edge for the hedgehog's needles. Glue the “needles” in the following sequence: first attach one piece at a time, after dropping glue on the wide edge, and insert the muzzles inside. Continue attaching the spines in even rows all over the body.
Draw paws with claws on the egg notch and cut out 4 blanks in total. From the inner circle (bottom) of the notch, make ears by flattening the two parts together. For the nose, use the tip of the cell. Make another hedgehog if you wish. Paint the hedgehogs with gray acrylic paint. Glue on the bead eyes.
The wonderful flower hedgehogs have a papier-mâché body. Papier-mache can be made from the second and third layers of napkins (old newspapers, toilet paper) with the addition of PVA glue.
Instead of needles, hole punching flowers are glued to the body with PVA glue. Having prepared the flowers, fold them in two layers and attach them, spreading them over the entire body. Glue the half-bead eyes and the bead nose onto the "Titan". Decorate the centers of the flower-needles with nail polish and sparkles.
A funny, cute hedgehog can be made in origami style. Prepare two parts from gray paper: a square and a rectangle. It should be noted that the long side of the quadrangle should be 12 cm, and the short side should be similar in size to the diagonal of the square.
Make the body of the hedgehog. Taking a square, fold it in half diagonally, then bending one of its sharp corners a drop up (nose). Turning the element over to the other side, analyze the original result. If necessary, correct so that the workpiece looks as authentic as possible and looks like a hedgehog's body.
Make needles from a rectangular part, folding it with an "accordion". Fold the paper in half in width. Then fold again from top to bottom in half, connecting both layers of paper together. Bend back the outer half of the workpiece. Bend the resulting rectangle in half again, then unfold. Along the marked lines, make rib bends to end up with an even and neat “accordion”. Bend the corrugated part in half, and secure the half behind with glue.
In the summer, the child saw a live hedgehog, watched him, watched a cartoon. Maybe mom read a fairy tale about this animal. It is necessary to consolidate knowledge: to make a craft-hedgehog that complements our theater.
The voluminous hedgehog that we will make will fit on the palm of a child, and will not prick a pen, because it is made of paper.
For its manufacture, it is better to pre-select the material from several shades of brown. Then you get a craft in the form of a hedgehog of natural color.
How to make a hedgehog
Necessary materials:
- brown cardboard or paper in several tones;
- stationery glue;
- plastic eyes;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- ruler;
- black marker.
Manufacturing steps:
1. The upper body of a hedgehog consists of prickly needles. To create them, we take brown semi-cardboard or paper. It is advisable to take double-sided material into work! Draw two circles with a compass or circle the bottom of the glass. Cut out and get two circles. 
2. Divide each circle in half with a line. Then go over each line with scissors to get the right halves.
3. For further work on the body of the hedgehog, you should take three halves. We twist each part to get a cone. We fix the sides with glue. 
4. We place each cone on the side. We work the upper part with scissors to create the prickly hedgehog needles. 
5. We connect all three elements together to get the body of a hedgehog with a prickly back. 
6. Now let's move on to making the muzzle. To do this, take a sheet of light brown paper and draw a circle half the size of the first two. Cut out and divide in half. 
7. We round the cut out part of a light brown shade to get a cone. 
8. We apply the resulting cone to the front of the body. Using glue, we fix the paper parts. 
9. With a black marker, you can now draw eyes and a nose. 
We place a beautifully finished hedgehog on an autumn leaf or create a completely different composition. But the main thing is that the colored paper hedgehog is ready! This means that you can take a break and learn one rhyme with your child about such prickly animals. And if later desire and strength appear, then it is possible to create a father and mother for such a small hedgehog. Only then should large circles of brown paper be used.

Today we offer you master- manufacturing class paper and cardboard crafts« Hedgehog» , which, in our opinion, corresponds to the upcoming autumn theme.
My guys love working with these familiar and easy-to-work materials. Paper- this is one of the most accessible and multifunctional materials for children's creativity, it all just depends on the level of imagination and skill. Cardboard is stronger paper, holds its shape better, so we chose this material for the base crafts.
For the manufacture of « hedgehog» need:
One circle of brown cardboard with a diameter of 10 cm for the torso;
One circle of black cardboard with a diameter of 1 cm for the spout;
13 circles of colored paper diameter 3.5cm for needles (purple or dark blue);
One square of green cardboard 5x5cm for an apple;
One eye.
Performance crafts:
1. Fold a circle of brown cardboard as shown in the photo, be sure to leave a blunt end for the spout.
2. The workpiece can be put on the table, and the largest of the folded parts will serve as a support.
3. Glue the spout.
4. Fold all 13 circles with a diameter of 3.5 cm as shown in the photo.
5. It is better to glue the folded halves together.
6. Glue the needles on the body, first the first row, then between the needles of the first second row, also the third (see photo).
7. On the reverse side, on a green square, draw an apple and cut it out.
8. Then we place the apple between the needles.
9. It remains to glue the eye, draw a mouth and craft is ready.
Despite the fact that there are already quite a lot of hedgehogs on the site, I want to offer another option for creating it. This time it's an accordion paper hedgehog, a fun and super easy craft for kids.
Materials for work:
- Colored paper or not very thick brown and beige cardboard;
- Black felt-tip pen, glue stick, scissors.
Hedgehog from paper accordion step by step
Cut a sheet of brown A4 paper in half along its length. You will get a long strip that you need to fold into an accordion, starting from its narrow side.
Fold all the paper into an accordion. Depending on age, children can fold the folds, first in one direction and then in the other, from 5 mm to 1.5 cm.
Find the center of the accordion and fold it in half.
Apply glue along either inner side and glue, forming a kind of fan. Sometimes you may need to go through the glue at the very bottom of this fan, fastening together the lower folds. Hedgehog needles are ready.
Now it's time to draw the hedgehog's appearance and paws. To do this, cut out a slightly elongated semicircle from beige paper, or rather cardboard, the size of which is half the size of an accordion needle. Draw eyes, a nose and a wide smile on this semicircle with a black felt-tip pen. Cut out two strips from the same beige paper and round the corners, these will be the hedgehog's legs.
For the autumn holiday or for classes with the theme of forest animals, a paper hedgehog would be a great idea. There are a lot of all kinds of hedgehog crafts, this one is simple and affordable materials.
What do you need for a paper hedgehog?
- Brown cardboard;
- Beige cardboard or any other, slightly lighter than brown;
- Compasses, black felt-tip pen, glue stick, simple pencil, scissors.
How to make a hedgehog out of paper?
The hedgehog in this pattern is beautiful, both large and small, so at the initial stage you need to decide what your hedgehog will be, and already, based on this, draw two circles on brown cardboard.
In fact, the hedgehog consists of three cones, so you need to divide the two circles into halves, one of which is not needed.
Roll each half into a cone and seal the edges. You will get three identical brown cardboard cones.
At this stage, you need to make hedgehog spines. To do this, the edges of the cone are cut into small strips, but only on one half of it. That is, the thorns will be only on top of the hedgehog and a little on the sides, the bottom of the cardboard should be in a holistic state. The length of the strip is up to the middle of the cone. After all the strips are ready, they need to be slightly bent to the side.
Glue all the cones together, leaving a small space between them.
Next, you need to make a hedgehog head. It will be slightly lighter than the body with spines and also be a cone, only smaller. Therefore, cut out a circle from beige cardboard, a little smaller than it was from brown cardboard.
Cut it in half and discard one half.
Roll the other half into a cone and glue. Try on the head to the body, the cone-head should be no less and no more than the place intended for it - up to the needles. Cut off the excess if the cone is too large, if it is small, it will have to be redone. Draw eyes on it and paint over the tip, which will be the nose of the hedgehog.
