For the hand I used pipe cleaners bunched up to the thickness of fingers then wrapped masking tape around them.
For the arm I utilized pipe insulation used to keep water pipes from freezing in the winter.
Here is the hand and arm wrapped in tape and ready for mache' strips.
Here is the arm with several layers of strips.
I put strips inside some to give me a base for attaching it to the body.
Dorothy and her unattached arm with 8+ layers of strips.
After applying a few more layers of strips I was ready to attach the arm.
I made a hole in Dorothy's chest and inserted a piece of PVC pipe then secured it with hot glue.
I attached the arm over the PVC pipe and applied more strips to secure it.
