  10. Cut out the blanks of the ears from the green bottle. For one ear, you need a quarter of a bottle cut along. In the lower part of the ear, we cut the protrusions for attaching to the head, in accordance with the image.
  11. We bend the sidewalls of the protrusions so that they pass into the narrow slots prepared in the head.

  12. We mark the slits on the head with a marker in accordance with the size of the ear. Their size should correspond to the width of the protrusions on the ear with curved edges. We make cuts.

  15. Cooking a donkey's mane from a brown bottle. The length of the workpiece corresponds to the length of the neck. To attach the part to the neck, cut out three protrusions in accordance with the image. We imitate hair by cutting through the part with a step of 2mm and not reaching its edge by 15mm.
  16. We bend the edges of the protrusions for subsequent fixation to the neck. We make two blanks for the mane.

  17. On the neck we mark three slots with a marker in accordance with the location of the protrusions on the details of the mane. Their width should correspond to the size of the protrusions on the details of the mane with curved edges. We make cuts.
  18. We bend the edges of the protrusions on the details of the mane and sequentially insert them into the slots on the neck of the animal.

  19. It is convenient to make a harness and a donkey's tail from a garden border tape. From it it is necessary to cut off a strip 15 mm wide and fasten the crafts to the body with five self-tapping screws. The eyes will fit from an old toy. We fasten them with double sided tape. We paint the muzzle and ears from the inside with white paint. Nostrils and mouth are done with red and black paints.

  20. You can harness! We use a plastic box as a cart. The wheels are good from a used children's toy. They can be mounted on the axis of the welding electrodes. Shafts are made from thin branches. For good stability in windy weather, sand should be poured into the bottles of the donkey's legs.
