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.

Future Fabulous Accessories

  • A Fabulous pennyfarthing bicycle
  • A bikeshed for his pennyfarthing bicycle (colour to be decided by mailing list... eventually)
