Bend the Hand and use the remaining green tail to sew Round 3 of both pieces of the
Thumb / Pointer Finger together (to make them ‘pinch’), hide end.

Twist 3 pipe cleaners together, then fold them in half, and insert them into the Hand /
Arm. Bend once at the back of the Hand and once at the wrist to get the correct shape.
