Swirl the white and red Chenille wire together. From this, arms and legs are made: Knitted tube and Chenille wire cut to size. For the arms cut two small crosses on each side of the lampshades. Pull the Chenille wire through the holes and let it dangle out of the opening at the bottom as legs. Fix the small Wooden balls for the hands and the wooden feet with hot glue at the ends
