Since we've used glue on the inside of the turtle you want to make sure that stays nice
and firm. So one of the ways to do that is to connect a couple of pipe cleaners depending
on the size of your turtle. If it's a little smaller you could probably get away with just
one. And laying your turtle over this way pulling the pipe cleaner up to the top, what
we're doing is just making a tight bond between the bottom and top shell and this will eventually
come off. This will hold it in place. If it seems like its still loose you could do it
again going over this way and it also holds those legs in a little bit tighter so the
glue really takes effect. If you ever find that there's a problem with your turtle coming
apart you could always go back and glue it again. These are really easy to put back together.
The other thing is that when you're displaying this turtle want to remember to keep it up
on the shelf, something like that because these pieces here, the googly eyes, even the
tin foil can be a choking hazard for children. When it is completely dry take the pipe cleaner
off and you can put it up to display.
