Fig. [109].—Paper for turkey wings.
([Fig. 105]) is also modelled from half a sheet of tissue-paper as near the general color of a turkey as can be found. Make [Fig. 92] and [Fig. 93] of the paper; then fold [Fig. 93] five and three-quarter inches from one end ([Fig. 106], F). Three inches from this end tie the two layers together ([Fig. 106], G). Fold the strips back and tie a string through the lower loop up over the loose top layer ([Fig. 106], H). Wind the extreme end of the paper ([Fig. 106], O), with string to form the beak ([Fig. 107]), bend the beak down and tie it to the neck to form the top of the head ([Fig. 108], P). Make the legs and feet as you did those for the chicken ([Fig. 98]) and slide them through the body so that one fold of the body will be above and two beneath the legs ([Fig. 107]). Cut the wings from a separate piece of tissue-paper ([Fig. 109]). Let the paper measure seven inches on the widest side, five on the opposite side, and four and one-half on each of the other sides. Pinch the paper together through the centre and tie ([Fig. 110]). Gather up one wing, so that it will not tear, and slip it through the body, immediately over the legs, with the widest side toward the front ([Fig. 105]), leaving the other wing out free on the other side of the turkey. Bend down the legs, spread the tail out fan shape and bend it up; open out the wings and drop them downward and forward ([Fig. 105]). Flatten out the feet and stand up the turkey ([Fig. 105]).

Fig. [111].—Elephant modelled of tissue-paper.
The Elephant
([Fig. 111]) will require two sheets of brown tissue-paper for its body, head, and trunk, which are all made of a single strip of paper. Unfold, spread out and fit the two sheets of tissue-paper together; then gather up one side, as in [Fig. 92], crease and gather up the other side ([Fig. 93]). Bind one end with black thread to the distance of four and one-half inches to form the trunk; then fold the remainder of the strip into four layers, beginning with the free end of the paper; fold over and over three times. This gives the body and head. Bind black thread around the folds next to the trunk to form the head. Make four legs of two pieces of paper in the same way you formed those of the chicken ([Fig. 98]), only the elephant's legs must be very much thicker. Slide the legs through the body between the two layers of paper, shove the front legs forward and the hind legs backward. For the tail use a small strip of the brown tissue-paper. Wrap it around and around with black thread to within an inch of the bottom and cut this end up into fringe. Fasten the tail on the elephant with black thread, pass the thread between the first and second layers of paper forming the back of the body of the animal and tie the tail on the outside threads which cross from side to side of the elephant; bend the top of the tail over the thread, as you would hang a garment on a clothes-line, and tie the bent-over end down on to the tail proper. Shape the ears like [Fig. 112], pinch together the end S and tuck it under the thread which separates the head from the body. Allow the long side, M, to form the front of the ears. You can add white ivory tusks if desired. Roll up two white writing-paper lighters and push an end of each up in the head under the trunk, forming one tusk on each side.
