Modeling the figure in clay
For a long-necked giraffe, you will also need a clay head and a clay body. The neck can be a pencil. Pipe cleaners will do for the legs and tail. And pipe cleaner bits, paper, or toothpicks can be used for the horns.

A CLAY ZOO
You can stick all sorts of odds and ends in clay to make funny animals.
You can add animal parts made of pipe cleaners, yarn, toothpicks, empty tooth-paste tubes, empty lipstick tubes, empty spools, cardboard, felt, or almost anything.
You can make a clay lion with two balls of clay one for the body and one for the head. Make the neck out of a tooth-paste cap. Bits of pipe cleaner or yarn can be used for the tail and the lion’s mane. Toothpicks or spools make good legs.
