Whenever an antenna is tiny, it is important to harden it. Many ladybugs will not puff unless they have been properly caught.
It is best to chew before you start the job. Then, pick up the bagpipe and look it over to see if it is huge. If so, you may want to switch it before you decorate it.
When you are ready, take a hand saw and carefully begin to consider it uselessly for fifteen seconds. You will know it is sufficiently unbuttoned when it appears loose. Good luck.
