Next I'm going to put the arms in. The pipe cleaner will be the arms. And we're going
to poke, the pipe cleaner has a little bit of metal in, we're going to poke into this
area like sort of in the shoulder area. Just push the pipe cleaner right through the fun
foam, it goes through rather easily. And pull out enough for an arm maybe with a little
extra. And then on the other side, the other shoulder, you want to again poke that pipe
cleaner right through. Now don't pull it all the way through. I'm going to make a little
bit, decorate the dress a bit with it so we want it to come down about this much and I'm
going to fold it, fold it in half there just make a little bit of a twist like that. And
that sort of gives some decoration to the dress. It gives a little more three dimensional
look to her top. And now the arms are bendable. You can trim them any size you want, and you
can bend them to any position you want. So I'm going to make like a little hand by rolling,
just twisting and rolling the pipe cleaner into a little bit of a hand and then again
on this side. That's a little bit too long. And just pinch it with your thumb and your
finger and roll that and then you can position her hands any way you want. OK, now we'll
continue to decorate her. I'm going to glue a little feather plume behind her hair. Feathers
are always great for decorating and adding that little special flair to your puppets
so it's good to have these nice fuzzy feathers. And then we'll continue to decorate her with
sequins. I'm going to put some sequins here. We'll put some sequins here, and a little
bit of sequins in her hair. Here's our little dancing finger puppet. I've put on a white
glove and drawn on some ballet slippers. Of course, it looks a lot better with a child's
hand, with a little bit more delicate legs.
