4. Press down the full length of the sausage with your fingers. You should get a flat ribbon. Before such a procedure, moisten your hands with water, and also press down the plasticine to a glossy, and not to a paper surface, otherwise the whole structure will stick. Work carefully, pick up the plasticine with a stack in the place where it stuck.

5. Start creating a fringe - imitation of the spiky needles of a herringbone. Move with a stack from one edge to the other, drawing longitudinal notches at a distance of 2-3 mm.

6. The fringe obtained does not have to be whole along its entire length. For convenience, it can be divided into separate segments. This will greatly simplify the work.

7. Start attaching the fringe to the very bottom of the paper cone. Gently attach the top of the tape and press down on the uncut portion with your fingers. If you need to join two segments, then just press the clay with your fingers.

8. Layer more and more fringe rings. Carefully lay each top layer on top of the previous one.
