Monkeys are playful, mischievous creatures that happen to look a lot like humans. That is why we are so fascinated with them, they remind us of ourselves. Today we are going to make monkeys from pipe cleaner type materials...but these are called Chenille Stem Bumps and you can buy them at some crafts stores. They are basically pipe cleaners but with varying thicknesses...in a wave-like formation. Find out how to make these monkeys below.
