I am having a difficult time getting the lamb to stay upright. The weight of the q-tips is too much for the two clothes pins. Help...any suggestions of what I am doing wrong or tricks that I am missing? I wanted to use them as name holders for Easter dinner. Thanks, Lynne Houser (The project is absolutely adorable)
Answer: Good question! The weight probably differs depending on the amount of q-tip heads used, and perhaps even the brand of q-tips used. If your lamb is top heavy, glue the lamb body lower on the clothespins, so the lamb has shorter legs. For instance, try gluing the legs so the top of the clothespins are flush with the top of the lamb body. This should solve the problem. If the weight is still an issue, some q-tip heads may have to be removed to make the body lighter.
