How to Make a Baby Giraffe
I am pretty new to making videos and giving instructions, so please be patient and if you have any questions please email me.
This is the first part, I use Styrofoam balls 1.5 inch balls the rough balls not the smooth foam balls. I find that the smooth foam balls don’t stay in place while working with the gum paste.
Part 1- In this first video we are making the body using a Styrofoam ball, I use these balls to cut back on the use of gum paste, it also makes your figures lighter.
Part-2 In this video I am going to be attaching Legs and Arms to the Baby Giraffe.
Part 3 & 4- We are going to be making the face, there are two videos for the this step.
Step 5- This is the last video, I did not go into detail on the eyes because I am going to post another video just for eyes. I have made some changes to the final Giraffe, I have added a small piece of gum paste to create a higher neck, so if you make this giraffe just add more paste and make the neck higher in the first step. I am learning as I go also :) I have also added the brown spots, tail, and eyes. I have also added some detail by coloring with edible chalk colors and added ribbon on the foam board.
I hope you have enjoyed these videos.
Thanks, Rocio
