Step 19Attach forelegs
Now we're going to wire on the forelegs.
Make sure the head is properly situated and the legs are fully pushed back into the skin, then push the arms as far forward as they easily go.
Holding the arms in place with one hand, twist the wires in place on the voodoo doll's back, centered just below where the shoulder blades would be. Next carry the wire ends down under the doll's belly for another few twists, then up to the back again for a final stabilizing few twists. Viewed from the side, the wire should zigzag up from the paws to the back, down to the belly, then up to the back. This provides a stable armature for your mouse's poseable arms.
Twist the ends of the wire a bit more, then clip it off and tuck the ends into the body of the voodoo doll to avoid damaging the pelt.
