*Keep on adding the CMC gradually until the paste gets thicker. Add more to the body and the head - they need to be firm, so that they don't sink. Add less to the arms and legs - you want them to hold the shape well, but they can't be very firm since you will need to be able to adjust the shape a little after attaching to the body. As it goes for the hat - add just a little CMC. It needs to be quite soft so that you can modify the shape after you attach it to the head. Add the CMC to the sugarpaste shortly before forming the parts.
2.
To make the legs you will need two 2 g balls of red sugarpaste. For the arms - two 3 g balls.
You make all four parts the same way: press the ball in between your index finger and your thumb to flatten it slightly. Then (still holding the paste between your fingers) use your other hand (index finger and thumb) to rotate the element around its axis. Keep rotating until you get sausages with flat ends like shown in the photo. Insert the cocktail stick pieces in the sausages.
