Step 7:-

Stick the head on the pointy part of the blue side of the body base. Use a black marker to draw the eyes, nose and mouth.















Notes

Why not make a few of these! You can easily change the colors around so they all look slightly different.

You could make one with blue trousers and a red top.

You could also add white stripes or stars to either the trousers or top.

You can also change facial expressions and have one frowning!

What will you with your complete craft with paper? Will you stick it onto some cardstock and turn it into a Happy 4th July card? 

Maybe you will stick it on the wall? How about adding a popsicle stick and turning it into an Uncle Sam puppet!
