Fig. 144—Hands and feet.
You can make the hands of paper like the face, or of dark brown paper (not tissue), to match the dark brown arms. White hands will give the effect of white gloves. Make the feet brown or black, or use bright colored paper to represent colored shoes.
Daffy-Down-Dilly
is quite a tall girl, standing eighteen inches high in her heel-less shoes ([Fig. 145]). Her head, shown in [Fig. 138], measures three inches from top to chin; this does not include the swirl of hair which rises in a peak above the head. Her hands, A ([Fig. 144]), are two and a quarter inches long from wrist to tip of middle finger, and her feet, B ([Fig. 144]), are two and three-quarter inches long.

These are the proportions. Of course, for a smaller doll they should be smaller.
Fold a piece of wrapping paper, making it double, and on the paper draw Daffy's head, copying the one in [Fig. 138], or making an original head if you prefer. The back hair may be drawn in or painted if the children insist upon having an all-around doll. If the neck is thick shave it off as in [Fig. 137]. Draw two hands on double pieces of paper and two feet on double pieces of paper, and cut them out. Daffy's hands are the color of her face, and her shoes are black.
