"Thank you for your advice!!"

"Jill, I used Wilton fondant to make these. Fondant is easy to work with in my opinion. It does dry out easily so you have to make sure to keep the unused portions covered or wrapped at all times. I use a little tylose and water as glue and use toothpicks for support. There are a lot of books out there you can buy but if you can roll balls and logs, you can make all of these little guys. They are really very easy to make. Good luck."

"These are GREAT!! I'm wondering if you have a recipe you'd like to share for fondant. I've tried making it and it doesn't come out this good - it is very hard to work with. Help?? Thanks if you do but understand if don't want to share."

"Most everything starts with a ball or sausage shape. Use some tylose and water to make a "glue." Use pieces of toothpicks along with the glue to stick everything together. I used seed beads for the eyes and a little mold for the bow. The patches and feet were just cut out and used a pin to make the stitches."
