Advice, please?

I want to try and model Olaf from fondant but I’m not sure how to do the hair strands and the arms. Any advice would be so appreciated!!

My only thought so far is to mix my fondant with tylose powder for these, but I’m afraid they will be so brittle once dry that they’ll break. Thoughts?

You could use thin wire inside the fondant for Olaf’s arms if you are sure no one is going to eat him.

I use cocktail sticks a lot for models that have thin arms and legs.
I just roll gumpaste around them in a sausage shape and let them dry.
