Piglet-sus! Build Part 9, Ears and Goggles




Cutting out the wings and legs could take some time. This triple ply cardstock is thick. I found it easiest to make wedge cuts and small trims afterwards.




The ears were too thick with the cereal box centers, so I ended up making them out of 110 lb. cardstock folded over itself. Position the ears with white glue, then come back with CA on a toothpick to set them in place. A small drop of CA on a toothpick is easier to set into an edge than trying to apply it directly from the bottle. 

  Just like the ears, set the goggles in place with white glue. Once you are satisfied with the position, go back with CA on a toothpick. The nostrils and smile are drawn with a fin Sharpie pen. Use a fine pen, the larger laundry marker Sharpies are too thick for the fine line work. Practice on paper to get a feel for the size of the nostrils and curves in the mouth.
