- This final part is a bit tricky.. it depends on how 'straight' you've glued the sticks... it may take a little bending of some sticks to fit the parts together. Make sure the sticks also have glue on them.
- Leave this to dry for half an hour with glue clamps.
You're done!
Enjoy your bunny manakin.
