DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Summer Swimmer Doorknob Hanger

Young children can easily make this cut and paste craft, but even pre-teens through adults will enjoy creating this cute doorknob hanger. 

There's also a small hanger template for those who prefer a quicker craft -- this won't fit around a doorknob, but can hang on a drawer knob, closet knob, pushpin or the refrigerator.

 

Materials:

  • glue or scotch tape
      
  • scissors
      
  • printer and paper
      
  • something to color with (if making the B&W paper version)
      

Instructions - paper version:

  • print out the template of choice and color if necessary.
      
  • cut out the template pieces
      
  • Glue the doorknob hanger together as follows:
    • Glue the arms on either side of the large body shape
    • Glue the face onto the body
    • Glue the mask onto the face
    • Glue the flippers onto the body
    • Glue the rubber tube onto the body
     

Templates:  

  • Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. 
       
  • Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
