Paper Mache Lizard: Making Legs

Video Transcript

"If you've got extra hanging off you can always just snip it off once it's tightly wrapped. Like, that's not going to make it over to the other side so I'm going to cut that. Wrap it up so that it doesn't have a sharp edge on it. This is really a part where parents can be helpful. We're going to wrap another leg over here; just like we did before. We're going to do that for all four legs; just like that. Wrapping it around and again this one can be snipped. We can sometimes get away with doing one pipe cleaner for both legs. I'll show you how we do that by wrapping one side, looping, wrapping it again and we're just going to take it right over to the other side, underneath, wrapping it around and then looping again. So, there that gives us our legs and we've got a little extra there that can be cut off. Now we're going to put on the tail. It's not important that we have pieces coming up over the legs that'll come on; they'll wrap fine with the papier-m?ch?. So, now what we're going to do for the tail is we're going to just attach a paper or a pipe cleaner right to the end of the body, loop it back up, whoops, loop it back up and we're going to pull it a little tight just to give it some shape. Just like that. Now we have our pipe cleaner armature."
