Gently push the paper lolly stick down through the centre of the neck and into the body, so that approximately 2cm remains protruding from the top. Gently push the head down onto the stick until it rests on the neck as shown.
Divide 5g of brown modelling paste and 1g of light brown modelling paste equally in half. Roll each into a long sausage tapered at one end as shown.
