Roll a separate piece of paper into a little wad and lay it on the creased strip ([Fig. 93]) about one-fourth of the distance from one end. Bend the short end of the strip over the wad of paper, as in [Fig. 94]; then fold up the strip where the end of the short fold lies, bend this over the first fold ([Fig. 95]) and bring the loose end on the bottom of the three layers. [Fig. 96] shows a wad of paper inserted at one end of a strip of creased paper folded over and over three times, making four layers, two on top and two on the bottom of the paper wad. Wind a string around the paper tight up to the wad and tie it securely to form the head ([Fig. 97]). You now have the body and head of the chicken. Make the legs and feet of a strip of paper about sixteen inches long and seven and one-half wide. Gather up the two long sides with your fingers as you did the paper in [Fig. 93]; crease the paper, then wind each leg with string, leaving one inch free at each end to form the feet ([Fig. 98]). Lift up the free end of the folded paper ([Fig. 97]) and place the centre of the legs ([Fig. 98]) midway under the last fold as in [Fig. 99]. Tie the end of the loose layer of the body securely on the body, and you will have the foundation ready for the beak, wings, and tail ([Fig. 100]).
