so for the lps, you could probably just (i know this sounds brutal but hey i mean it works) tie the string around it's neck so there's two ends coming off of it, and then insert the two ends into a space in the cuff (if that's what you're attaching it to?) and tie the two ends together and cut off the excess. idk about the cube thing though.

(sorry if this didn't make sense btw /gen)

@clyde_infestation: I love e6000. It makes totally deranged charms and sculpture, and fixed a snuff box that's been borked for 40 years.

@Phosfate: oh tysm!! also i almost completely forgot abt those weird baby things, and i would have NEVER guessed to use cement, for a second i thought you got autocorrected when i read the word "cement" in that

Tons of ways! Tie with clear or matching cord. Add eye screws and thread through them (they'll need a pilot hole but I use a steel drafting pin for that). E6000 cement the toy to a plastic flat, charm, or button. The more ways you learn, the better you'll be able to pick the right one for a particular toy.

NB if you use the cursed cake babies, they are VERY HARD so tying or cement is best.

@clyde_infestation: Sounds like a good idea! Stay safe, use a glove or something

@vampirefir: oh ok, ty! i can ask if i can use her metal sewing needle to heat up later.

Heat a needle and poke it through, should help melt it a bit. You can use a lighter or boil it or whatever- just be very careful working with it and use heat gloves or something, or ask your mum for help.

Good luck!
