You're a beginner... just pack the butt with that critter clay and sew up the back. Then squeeze and mold the buds from the outside. As you learn more, you can venture into other methods. This one works fine and you'll be pleased. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving buddy!


Dont over do the clay.

Practice seting a earliner several times, you will only need a bit more than the size of a golf ball.
