MEGA HOUNDOOM

This is the next requested item from a customer of mine on Etsy.  Mega Houndoom is the mega evolution of Houndoom when you have Houndoom is holding a Houndoominite during a battle.  This character was not easy to make.  I used floral wire in the tail so that I could recreate the tail tip pointing up just like the picture that I used to make Mega Houndoom.  I am going to put the floral wire in the instructions but if this is going to be made for a child, I recommend leaving it out.
