smallieFanatic 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2009 Really Gage, their pretty darn easy. Use those pre-cut popper bodies. Stick em on a hook and paint them with nail paint (Sisters are good suppliers ). Splatter them with another color if you want to make spots. Then epoxy and/or nail polish it and glue on some eyes. Then put on a tail of your choice. Easy Jan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
