On a large piece of cardboard, draw the shape of a sheep
body. We drew ours freehand. It measures approximately
700mm long.
Place template on MDF and draw the outline. Cut out
shapes with a jigsaw. Cut slots in the middle of the three
circles that measure the same width as the body.
Measure the width of your sheep body (ours measures
320mm) and add about 70mm to each end. That takes our
measurement to 460mm. Then on another piece of cardboard,
draw a circle with a diameter of 460mm. Draw another circle 20mm
bigger than that, just outside the frst circle. Within the two rings,
draw semi-circles the shape of sheeps wool. Cut out the woolly
shape.
Cut four shelves (ours measured 160mm wide x 400mm long).
Cut slots horizontally on the three circles to ft body and two
shelves (one shelf either side of body). Cut frst slot 250mm up
from ground level and another 400mm up from ground level.
On another piece of cardboard, draw two circles within each
other, as above, one 460mm in diameter and the other 500mm
in diameter. Draw two legs that measure about 240mm high on
the outside. Draw half circles within the rings to look like wool. Cut
out template.
Put pieces together and, if necessary, glue in place to keep
secure. Once glue has dried, paint your sheep. We used Resene
Zylone Sheen VOC Free, which, as the name suggests, has no
volatle organic compounds.
