1
Find a portrait of a person, critter or character that you want to create a bobblehead from. Look in books, magazines, photos or draw one yourself.
-
2
Make two copies of the original image. The first copy is for the base head and the second copy is for the bobblehead.

3
Cut the head out of the second copy. Cut carefully so the lines of the cut match the image.
-
4
Cut a thin, long rectangle out of your blank scratch paper. Fold the rectangle into little squares over and over again so it scrunches up.

5
Glue one end of the scrunched paper to the base head. Glue the other end to the back of the bobble head. Flick the top head to see it bobble.

Tips & Warnings
If you have thin hobby wire, wrap a 1-inch strand around a marker to make it coil and glue this in place of the scrunched up paper to get the same effect on a smaller bobble head.
