Here, | cut a skewer to ~7.5" / 19 cm in length. You can leave the skewer as is but | wanted to match the colour of the skewer to that of the amigurumi heart. To do this, | wrapped the skewer in Washi or MT tape (Picture 11). Picture 11 | then inserted the blunt end of the decorated skewer into the bottom of the heart (Picture 12) and inserted the sharp end into a stich on one of Pippin’s hands (Picture 13).
