How to Make a Pipe Cleaner Briefcase

Video Transcript

" Hi this is Andrew Jenkins on behalf of expertvillage.com. Now in this clip I'm going to be telling you about pipe cleaner crafts specifically how to make a little suitcase for the pipe cleaner man that we made in the last video. Now what you are going to want to do is take a black or brown piece of pipe cleaners 12 long. Take your fingernail clippers or whatever you are using to clip your pipe cleaner and put in the to about a inch in a half and snipped that right off. Now we worry about the little piece later. Right now try to make a regular rectangle type shape. Do it as best as you can. If you don't get it right the first time great thing about pipe cleaners is they are pliable so you could always try to correct your mistakes. Just get right in there and whatever excess length that you have just twist it around so it is all on this same little line. Now I have that little rectangle shape that is going to be the base of a suitcase. This piece that I just clipped off is going to be the handle. We are going to actually going to make this so he could hold on to it. This is our pipe cleaner man. So go ahead and put the handle through his hand and bend of two ends so it has a little handle shape to it and I put it to the briefcase that I just made and coil the handle piece around there. So then now this man is walking off to work with his new briefcase."
