© Puddle Supplies 8 to 10 pieces of 18 inch (45.72 cm) 24-gauge floral wire Wire cutters or floral scissors 1 yard (0.914 meters) of butcher paper Scissors Tape 1 30½” x 20½” (77.47 cm x 52.07 cm) sheet of red cloth-based paper Elmer's glue 1 sheet of stiff paper, like sketch book paper 1 foot (30.48 cm) of stiff bow-making ribbon 1 foot (30.48 cm) of nice ribbon for the tongue Black marker or calligraphy pen Sticky label, or small rectangle of paper Instructions Top of head Take one piece of wire and cut it to around 12 inches (30.48 cm) long with the wire cutters. Find the center point and bend slightly to mark its place. Curve the wire by running it between your thumb and first finger, pressed tightly together and held slightly off-center.  Body Begin the body by bending one full-length piece of wire about 6 inches (15.24 cm) from one end. Next measure 7 inches (17.78 cm) from the other end of the wire and bend sharply. You should have a 3-sided square shape. Curve the middle section as you did for the top of the head. Finish by bending the 6 inch (15.24 cm) section down about 2 inches (5.08 cm) from the back curve.  Run the straight end of the wire between your fingers as you did for the top of the head to curve it. Repeat these steps on another full-length piece of wire.  Take the top of the head wire and twist both ends onto the tips of the body wires.  Stiffening up your Howler Take another piece of full-length wire and cut it in half. Bend a small bit of both ends back to attach it to the frame. Slip the pieces onto the frame and twist the wire onto itself.
