The corks are held together by thin wire. Use a bigger cork for the body...and smaller corks for the neck...if you don't have different sized corks, just use one for the body and for the neck, you don't need to use any corks at all....just the wire. You could use something else for the face, such as a marker cap. The legs are made up of toothpicks. The tail and hair is made from yarn. The ears are made from felt. Remember, you don't have to use the same design as the picture, you can use different crafts supplies.
