Step 3Skin, Wire, and Stuff
Skin and wire your mice as described in the Mouse Taxidermy Instructable.
Consider how the pelts will be arranged on your voodoo doll, and how the armature will be wired- planning ahead is key.
Insert the head(s) first, then wire the arms, arranging as necessary. You'll find somewhere along the line that you have extra skin; don't trim it off until you've arranged the rest of the pelt, as it's easier to deal with an excess of skin than a shortage. Patching is a big pain, but doable. It can even be planned if you want the multi-colored patchwork Frankenmouse look, but I wouldn't recommend it for your first try.

If I recall, Canida uses feeder mice or mice that she raised and lets die naturally. Not many people kill simply for the taxidermy.
