How are hay figures made?
First, make the body and head. Then, depending on whether the animal has legs or not, work in thin sticks. When choosing the length of the sticks, work out how much will be inserted into the body. The animal should be able to stand up on its own. Now, wrap hay around the sticks. Then wrap wire around the whole body. Eyes, mouth and ears may be added if desired.
Tip: Some farmwomen will be happy to show you how to do arts and crafts with hay on holiday.
