EditTips

  • Elephant: Make front legs slightly shorter and thicker than back legs to support the elephant in a seated position.
  • Lion: Attach legs to body in standing position, then fold legs under to have lion sit or lie down.
  • Giraffe: Use a pencil or rolled-up piece of paper to hold legs in position while they firm up.
  • Monkey: Use a skewer to form an indent on top edge of the face piece to create a widow’s peak.
