How to Make

  1. Decorate a conker with Deco Pens and self-adhesive gems. Allow to dry.
  2. Take a piece of dough and roll it into a long sausage shape about 7cm long, and shape one end upwards to make the snail’s face.
  3. Add a small amount of glue to the bottom of the conker and press it down into the snail’s body. Allow to dry.
  4. Cut two pieces of pipe-cleaner 5-6cms long, make curls at one end and gently press them into the top of the snail’s head.
  5. Peel and stick two wiggle eyes to the snail’s head to finish!
