Giraffe Family


This giraffe family of four took my wife a long time to finish. The body shapes are not to difficult (she used molds) but the spots took a long time since they had to be hand cut and hand pasted. The end result is very much worth it!

Giraffe Family

How to

  • The bodies need to be cut out by giraffe-shaped molds. There are a lot of thin parts (necks and legs), so try using a dense bread so they don't break off.
  • The spots and the face parts need to be hand cut and stuck on with butter/margarine/spread.
  • A seaweed/nori punch cutter saves a lot of time (mostly for the face parts). You can get it on Amazon or eBay (Australia).
  • Update: My wife told me that she used sesame seed for the little eyes.


What-is-it Score: 3 out of 3

  • Girl: It's like our family. But they are giraffes.
  • Boy: Lots of giraffes!
  • Dad: Which one is supposed to be me?
