Well to start things off, i was given this and so decided to turn it into a project



Which had the following contents -


First of all i took the nylon tight-like thing -


And tied a knot in one end -



Then turned it inside out so as the knot is on the inside -


Then took the grass seeds and added them to the inside of the nylon tight-like thing -

like so -



Then i located the sawdust -


And added this on top of the grass seed -

Making sure it is packed down tight -


Then i took the remaining open end and tied a knot in that also -



Then came the creation of the nose. i pinched gently to create a bulge -


Using the string, i wrapped it around the bulge that i had created and tied securely -




Then i cut the string so as it isnt as noticable -
** Remember to be careful when using scissors **


Then he needed some eyes, grabbed these -

And stuck them on where i thought they would look best (normally above the nose, so thats where i put them ) -


Then i soaked the sawdust in water, so i filled the sink up -


And dropped him in -



Then i let the water out and let some drain out of the sawdust -


Then i needed a pot to put him in, so fetched that -


And placed him into it -


Looks much happier now

Then popped him on the shelf to soak in some rays (although the sun isnt currently out ) -


Not forgetting to clean up afterwards.
Whats more, Henry approves it -


updates when i get some grass growing
