How to do it
1 Cut four 14 cm pieces of bonsai wire. Shape a foot at one end of each piece of wire by making a bend. Cut another piece of bonsai wire measuring 6 cm and connect the large polystyrene egg (body) with the small egg (head).
2 Cover the body and head with Foam Clay. Cover the legs and feet separately and push them into the body. Model a small tail from Foam Clay and press it onto the body at the end.
3 Press plastic eyes onto the head and roll a Foam Clay ball for the nose. Attach the nose. Make antlers from two connected pieces of pipe cleaner measuring 5 and 8 cm respectively. See the photo!
