Hedgehog Book Art

Gorgeous recycled hedgehogs to keep or give away as gifts!

Materials:

• Old paperback books. Small Hedgehogs are cute so use old books no larger than 8 inches (20 cm) in length.
• Black paper, felt or leather for eyes and nose (ears are optional) 
• Glue

Instructions:

• Tear off the front and back cover of your book. 
• Count the number of pages you need (I used 130 pages for the hedgehog pictured) and detach the rest of the pages for another project or another hedgehog.
• Start folding your hedgehog:

1. Fold each page in half lengthwise
2. Fold both folded ends into the spine of the book, forming triangles.
3. Continue to fold in this fashion until all the pages are folded.

• Cut small circles for the eyes and nose from the material you haveat hand.

NOTE - For those physical distancing. 

Place supplies in a ziplock Kit bag: provide the book with a few pages already folded so that residents can follow. The Kit should have a written suggestion in large letters: “The more accurate the folding, the prettier the hedgehog!
