(He had a lot of operations when I was younger, and as a result, loads of bandages!) My sister and I would constantly walk around in bandages at home (even when we weren't breaking anything!) It's a fun toy. Kids love to play doctor! As a kid, I loved playing with dad’s old bandages. (He had a lot of operations when I was younger, and as a result, loads of bandages!)

I volunteer with one, and we use them for cleaning wounds, eyes and ears. Cotton buds are not safe for use with very young animals because we might not be able to estimate how close the eardrums are to the surface, so we saturate pieces of bandage with ear mite solution and wipe the insides of their ears clean. Cotton wool doesn't have the same gently-abrasive cleaning effect, and leave fluffy bits inside their ears. Bandage pieces are best for this. Donate them to animal shelters.

Once you have made an armature or wire or wood or both and have bulked it out with scrunched up newspaper, the bandages dipped in plaster of paris can be wound round and round and smoothed out to make an outer layer. they when dry paint it.
