- Although Model Magic sticks to itself it is a good idea to use glue to attach the new pieces of Model Magic for this project.
- As you add more Model Magic to the puppet head think about colour and texture.
- Mix primary colours to get new colours.
- Use a garlic press and other tools to create texture.

- Allow the puppet head to dry for 3 days.
- Once it is dry, you may want to give it a coat of acrylic varnish to make it stronger and give it a shiny finish.
