Step 1
Step one
Use the pliers to bend the pieces of wire to form the critter’s legs and fix to the wooden spoon with masking tape (you might need a grown-up to help with this bit). Continue to wind masking tape around the whole critter until it's completely covered.
Step 2
Step two
Apply one coat of Resene Art Action Quick Dry to the critter, allowing two hours to dry.
