How to make

Step-1

Draw a cane shape onto corrugated cardboard and cut it out. Repeat to create two more, then layer up the canes and glue together.

Step-2

Cover the cane completely in brown Duck Tape

Step-3

Cover your surfaces and place the t-shirt on top. Pour out some brown and grey paint – it should be fairly runny, so water it down if it is too thick. Dip a paintbrush into the paint and use your fingers to flick the paint onto the t-shirt to make it look dirty.

Step-4

With a dry brush, add some more marks of paint to make it look really mucky! You can even add a smidge of green for grass stains.

Step-5

To make the bow tie draw a basic bow shape and a rectangle onto red felt and cut these out. Place the rectangle over the centre of the bow and glue the ends together at the back.

Step-6

Add some brown paint to the bow tie to make it look dirty (using the same technique as before) and glue it onto the front of the t-shirt.

Step-7

Snip the tips of the fingers off the pair of black gloves to finish.
