Spread out your smooth sheet of pink paper, place the doll's head directly in the centre and draw the paper down over head and body; keep it as smooth as possible over the face and wrap and tie at the neck ([Fig. 157]). Push the pink paper up on the shoulders and cut a slit about six inches long lengthwise through the middle of the entire mass of paper, as shown in [Fig. 157]. Wrap and tie each of the legs ([Fig. 158]) and tie once more under the arms ([Fig. 161]). Fold the bottom edges under and model the feet in shape ([Fig. 158]). The wrappings at the thighs and knees take slanting lines, which give a more natural shape to the legs than if the thread were simply wrapped round and round as at the ankles.
