  • Next, take the nose and mouthpiece and glue it in the middle of the face, just below the eyes so it’s slightly overlapping the bottom of the eyes.

  • Position the cup with the rim facing down, then glue the belly to the bottom of the cup.
  • Glue the head to the top of the paper cup We like to use a glue dot here because there’s no drying time, but you can also use a glue stick.
  • Fold a small piece of the opposite end of the tail, apply glue, and glue it to the side of the paper cup.
