I didn't know such things could be done with pipecleaners.

It's called 'Peach'(formerly 'Flesh', but not everybody has that colour skin, so they changed the name....) I bought a couple thousand sticks before Craft Canada closed down a few years ago, and now I don't see the colour anywhere. I don't know what I'm going to do when I run out. Good luck finding it!

I used the 'regular' size, 6mm pipe cleaners for Kuzco. I now use 3mm thick pipe cleaners for the underlying structure because they hold their shape better, and then I may use 6mm or 3mm when I wrap the body, depending on what look I am trying to achieve for the clothing and accessories, etc.
Thanks for the Faves and for Watchin'!

wow, I am amazed that your pipecleaner Kuzoc looks great and that he has a face. My pipecleaner people don't have a face because I though it be better to imagine it then keep it still forever in a same expertion. I have a strang way, but that what makes me interisting.

That's excellent! I'm wondering- how did you make the face so solid, yet detailed? I thought that would be darn near impossible unless done on a larger medium. o.o

Thanks!
The face is not solid, it is hollow. In fact, all of my sculptures are hollow...
The size of the piece is dictated by how small I can make the character's eyes(as in drawing, always start with the eyes!) and how many 3mm pipe cleaners I think it will take to make up the rest of his face. It then evolves from there: head, hair, neck, torso, legs, arms...cape, accessories, weapons 
It requires constant planning...and loads of patience

Wow! Who would have thought it possible to make something so well crafted out of such an "elementary school craft project" material as pipe cleaners! Very well done

I try to challenge myself with each new project...

Don't worry, I didn't know how to wrap them either when I started. Keep making things and you'll figure it out!

Thanks for the Fave. I'm sorry, but you can't have a Kuzco because I only make one of something and then move on(it's frustrating enough to get the first one 'just so'...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol. No probs on the fave. It is super cute. Kuzco is one of my fave Disney Characters and when I saw this I just had to fave it.
Oh and as for wanting one, I wasn't serious. I would love to make one myself, but like I said before...I can only make flowers and even those look like crap. lol

Same here! One minute I'm making something with pipecleaners, then I'm doodling, then I'm writing without ever remembering switching. I think patience is an illusion. XD

Um, I would retort but I can't conjure up any sort of witty remark at the moment. It has been awhile since I watched the movie. I reserve the right to add a smart-ass remark after I watch the movie again...meanwhile...

Kuzco turned out to be one of my best pipe cleaner characters. For an explanation of how I do it, check out my Simba page [link] . Look at my response to the Lovely =teblad, half way down the page, I explain it to her. If you haven't already, have a look at her stuff too! [link]
