- Glue a leaf to the top of each gem squash.
- Glue the eyes in place.
- Use the felt-tip pens to complete the facial features.
- Trace a pair of arms onto each colored cardstock and cut them out.
- Bend each arm slightly so that it will look as if the arm is bending at the elbow.
- For Speak-no-Evil, glue the top of the arms to the sides of the face, and glue the hands over the mouth. Make sure that the color of the arms matches with the leaf.
- For See-no-Evil, glue the top of the arms to the sides of the face, and glue the hands over the eyes, making sure that one eye is only partially covered.
- For Do-no-Evil, glue the top of the arms to the sides of the face, and glue the hands together just below the mouth.
- Add doll’s hair to each gem squash.
- Make a small bow from the ribbon and neatly cut the ends shorter. Glue the bow to the left of See-no-Evil’s hair.
- To display, cut the raffia in shorter strips and add your three gem squash friends.
