Roll a 1 g ball of purple flower paste. Flatten it to create a disc. You will stick the legs to it.
Roll six 8 g balls of purple flower paste. Use them to form eight arms - sausages that taper towards both ends (like the one in the photo). Roll the narrow ends into a spiral. Stick the legs to the disc as shown in the photo.
I recommend to work with one leg at a time so that the elements don't dry. If they dry too much you will get cracks and wrinkles when forming the spiral.
