Description
Drama Llama turning a production into a DRAMA!
Components
- 1 fluffy, innocent llama plushie
- black fabric and thread
- Club Mate box (or other cardboard)
- stiff but flexible paper (like sugar paper)
- black insulated, solid-core wire
- soldering iron, wire stripper
- ring mandrel (for shaping the monocle)
Process
- Spend several hours trying to make a top hat
- Eventually come up with stitching a rectangular strip of fabric around a piece of round fabric. Cut out a doughnut-shape of cardboard. Stretch over fabric and stitch along inside edge. Trim fabric. Sew together to the two parts and stick in a rectangular strip of sugar paper a bit smaller than the height of the hat. Cut ear holes in the hat.
- Estimate your monocle size, strip the ends a bit and solder together.
- Shape into a circle using the ring mandrel
- Cut a longer piece of wire - enough to go from the monocle, down the neck and shape around the neck to the back. Solder onto the monocle.
- Place hat on llama's head, pull through ears. Place monocle and wrap wire around until it holds onto the llama's neck nicely. DO NOT STRANGLE YOUR LLAMA!
- Name llama something fancy like Dunstable.
- Produce llama whenever necessary during dramas.
