Tips for a Charming Lobster
Build the lobster with a segmented tail — work it in sections for that realistic curl. The big claws are teardrop shapes with a pincer split at the end. Add antennae from chains worked over wire so they stand tall and proud.

Care Instructions
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; air dry flat. Reshape antennae gently with your fingers. Store in a dry place — this lobster prefers not to get boiled.
