Ant Holes Instructions

Step #1: Taking A Yellow Sheet Paper

Pick a plain, yellow sheet of paper and a pair of scissors along with it. Cut the sheet into a circle. After you have the circle, cut a little segment out of it as shown in the image presented right above.

Step #2: Taking The Bigger Segment And Crumble It

After cutting off a small segment, grab the larger segment. Fold it into and then crumble it. Do not crumble it the extent that the sheet has lost all its qualities; just crush it enough to get the creases.

Step #3: Tracing The Creases Using Dark Brown Wax Crayon

Now that you have the creases which give the absolute cracks in the ground effect, get a dark brown wax crayon. Hold the dark brown wax crayon very light-handedly and very loosely with just enough pressure that it only touches the sheet. Move the crayon, tracing the creases and a bit around.

Step #4: Highlighted The Cracks, Using Your Finger

The next step after the Brow wax crayon is to slowly smudge it. Make sure you do not smudge it to the extent where the paper literally has a crack and tears off. Use your other hand to support the paper. Keep the pressure light while smudging; you do not need to make haste.

Step #5: Tearing Of A Part Of The Sheet

In this step, you need to tear off a piece of sheet. Take the help of the image. Tear it off slowly so you do not end up tearing off the entire sheet into halves.

Step #6: Pasting The Torn Segment

Take a white sheet now and paste that torn segment on this white sheet. Paste it along the circumference.

Step #7: Do The Same Till You End Up With Five Segments

Using the same technique, continue to do the same until you get five segments in total. Take the assistance of the reference image above.

Step #8: Making Ant Using Black Clay

Take some black clay. Make an ant out of it but molding three circles and a curved triangle.

Step #9: Making Three More Ants And Add The Eyes

Mold four ants in total using the same technique. Stick a googly eye on two of the ants’ face. Use the above image as the reference.

Step #10: Making The Feet

Make the feet of the ants using a black sketch pen.

Step #11: Making Some Grass

Take a light green colored sketch pen and make the grass upon the ground. Make strokes to get the same effect as in the image above.

Step #12: Continue, Making The Grass Using Green Sketch Pen

Continue to make the grass but this time using a dark green colored sketch pen. Use the same stroking technique.

Step #13: Making Some Flowers Using Colored Sketch Pen

Grab a red and an orange sketch pen and make dots above the grass to give a floral effect and in the cracks of the ground as well, as in the reference image presented above. Make the dots in the cracks from a dark blue colored sketch pen as well.
