Another option to grab the figure with the string is to use a stapler with colored staples. You are ready to decorate the walls of your child's bedroom, easy, right?
A dinosaur or dragon tail to dress up
For the more adventurous children, I bring a super and imaginative DIY, it's about making a tail of some perverse monster, be it Godzilla, a magical dragon that draws fire or an extinct dinosaur.
For this you need a sewing kit, yellow cotton fabric and red felt, and two velcro strips and padding. Fold the yellow fabric and cut it in the shape of a triangle, as you see in the image, with a length of 56 cm and a width of 28 cm, there are two elongated triangles, fill them and sew one side.
To make the dragon's tail spikes, cut the red felt triangle, seven cm of base by six of height and sew them in one of the sides of the triangle of the main piece of yellow clothes, the one that is not yet sewn, so that they are looking up the peaks or follow the steps of the image.
To make the strap used to grab the tail at the child's waist you need four pieces 30 cm long by eight cm wide and finally you need a circle seven centimeters in diameter.
Take the four pieces and sew them two at a time, once finished you have two pieces left, sew the velcros on these pieces, each at one end at the same height so that they can stick properly. Sew each of these strips into the main pieces, in the yellow triangles, each right in the middle of the part that measures 28 cm.
And then uwe will circle the yellow main piece, which we will sew through the parts that measure 28 cm, we always sew on the inner side, once the tail is turned, and you can close the piece, leaving a hole to put the filling, when you finish filling the tail and close the hole with Be careful not to see the sewing.

Now you must of warp the wire following the course of the printed word, from time to time put your creation on top of the word to verify that you do it well, until you finish the word. To finish with a pencil, surround the two ends of the wire around a pencil to create two circles, one at each end of the word.
And finally take the wool, cord or thread and make a knot in the end, add a little glue to the whole word, do it in sections, so as not to get dirty and in case you do not just throw it away and wind the wool around the wire until the end and make a small Knot at the end of the word. Now you can decorate your wall, hang it by the circles we have made at the ends.
