Cardboard I couldn't love our little bobble head family more, these were so fun to make! It all started when we were making a Madagascar diorama and I turned Nixie into a little bobble head and I loved how that turned out so then I got the idea to make bigger ones of all of us!

It happened to be me and Kevin's 16 year anniversary and what better way to celebrate than spending our day working on a family art project!

What you'll need:

  • Cardboard
  • Markers
  • Printed out photos (we just used regular computer paper and a laser printer)
  • paper fasteners
  • glue
  • scalpel

How we made them:

1. First take a large piece of cardboard and your cut-out face and trace the face and draw a torso shape. Make sure to make a rounded bit for the shoulders as this will work like a joint when you attach the arms. Then cut it out with a scalpel.
