Step 6Something to climb.
You can't have a climbing gorilla if the gorilla has nothing to climb!
With the remains of your corrugated card, make a simple beam, about as long as the distance between the gorilla's hands.
Drill two holes near the centre of the beam, and and a hole near each end.
Tie a loop of string through the centre two holes to hang the gorilla up.
Cut another piece of string about four metres long, and thread each end down though the holes in the ends of the beam. You could use two separate pieces, but using one piece removes the chance of knots pulling through holes. To stop the string slipping, I glued and wedged short pieces of bamboo skewer into the holes with the string.
Thread one end of the string through each hand of the gorilla, and then tie a large knot in the end of the string to stop it pulling back through the straw. You could, if you want, add a large bead.

- I made "beads" by cutting short lengths of the corrugated card, gluing along their length and then rolling them around the knotted ends of the string.
