For the hind legs, cut one roll in half. Form each half into a crescent shape. Place each crescent on heavy sides of oval or body. Cut another roll in half to form back feet. Elongate each half making one end thicker than the other. Flatten each thick end and cut 2 deep slits to make 3 toes. Place each foot horizontally along bottom of body and hind legs. Spread toes.
