What tools will you need to make your bilby

• cutting mat

• ruler

• sticky tape*

• little bin

• scissors

• PVA, craft glue or water-based paste

• pen & pencil

• staplers

* Challenge yourself to find alternative ways to join parts and bits together

What tools would be handy but aren't necessary?

• box cutter / Stanley knife

• needle and thread

• pliers / wire cutters

• hot glue gun

What materials can I expect in my craft pack?

Each pack varies. This is a guide of what to expect

• Body - fur, fabric, carpet samples

• Face - plastic spool, paper cups, sticky materials

• Ears & Tail - canvas, bra cups, foam

What can you use from home?

• Straws or string for whiskers

• Plastic bottle caps for big eyes

• Pink fabric (if you didn't find some in your pack)

You can use the sticky-back foam and sticky-back plastic for either decorations or as an alternative to sticky tape

A stapler is your best friend. Plus it's a great no-glue alternative of sticking foam to cardboard.

Threading wire through a button hole can become a really strong joint for powerful jumping legs ... if you don't have wire - try bread ties

Remember - sticky tape is a last resort. Always look for creative alternatives first
