How to do it
1. Cut out a shape from foam rubber sleeping mat material using your imagination. Use a hole punch for making holes where you want to attach the long limbs.
2. Cut pieces of floral wire for limbs (i.e. for legs, arms, hair, tentacles etc.). Thread alternating shortened construction straws (cut into small pieces) and beads onto the floral wire. NB: For each bead wrap the floral wire through the hole twice to prevent the bead from sliding over the straw.
3. Decorate the shape with circles made from foam rubber sleeping mat material and construction straws. Use Clear Multi Glue gel.
4. Tie the long limbs made from construction straws and beads into the holes on the shape. Attach a piece of floral wire at the top for hanging.
