Thanks all! Jean - Yes they are wire. I just used my little jewelry pliers to twist the ends and then bent them to the shape I wanted. What I loved about this one is I got this mini muffin tin in a lot I bought at an auction for $2 lol. It was all rusted so I sanded it down, painted it and then decorated it. I love using stuff others throw away. I'm cheap yes but I hate seeing anything go to waste lol.

The faces are actually snowtex. I put some hot glue in before putting the snowtex in to make sure it stuck. Then I just fashioned it into what I wanted. The eyes are just faceted black beads - pushed them into the snowtex - and the noses are clay - same thing, pushed in. The mouths are bent wire. I glued the little scarves on and added some blush. When I pushed the beads, noses and wires on it was more to create the right dip in the snowtex. I let the snowtex dry and then glued the extras into the correct areas. Thanks.
