  Step 1

  search for two of your cereal boxes or like i used fruit drinks of the same brand.

  (you can use my piggy as well . Print the download on paper and glue that on cardboard.
  You still need then two pictures as well;-D)

• 

  Step 2

  cut out very large your figure out of the carton.

• 

  Step 3

  draw with pencil the lines how you must cut out the the legs and arms of your of your doll.
  (now i will only use the word pig further more but you know what i mean)

• 

  Step 4

  cut out the body of the pig from the picture without the lines. Watch the pict.

• 

  Step 5

  cut out the seccond box the legs and arms that you have draw on the picture.
  i've you like you can colour the parts, (because i gave this pig to my old gothic dear friend to cheer to cheer her up i used much black, some tripes of pink and purple,.;
  some glitter and some 3d paint).LOL
  feel fry for to pimp your own piggy;-D

• 

  Step 6

  okay now you must make the holes in the body parts (don't act only watch what i'm telling now)
  Watch the picture very carefully.
  You see that you need only two holes in the legs and the arms. the lower holes must be bigger and beneat the the higher ones for the ripcord.

• 

  Step 7

  but at first we must find out the position of were the arms and the legs of the pig will come to the body.
  pin on the front side with sewing pins the arms on the front side in with open arms posiiton on the body.
  Now you have found your holes for the arms in the body.

• 

  Step 8

  Do the same for the legs, watch the picture;-D

• 

  Step 9

  Now you can make the seccond holes like the picture is showing you.

• 

  Step 10

  Making the brads;
  you need for t his part :very thin iron wire,( i had copper wire, but that's not nesessary.)
  and small sead beads.

  thread on the thin wire a sead bead

• 

  Step 11

  cut of the iron and twist the wire just beneath the bead. and you have made your first brad
  congreatulations. LOL
  Make 3 more of them;-D

• 

  Step 12

  Before we can go any futher , you must make a a small piece of carton to make the level of the connection of the arm behind the back a little bit higer, you need this because of the legs will hit the arm construction and the moving when the ripcord is knot at the arm cord and the leg cord.
  And importend too the back is much stronger by this part.
  I've you have cut this, glue it on the back, and make with a needle the holes in the extra part .
  Now you must take some clear tape and tape the backside. again open the holes in the back.

• 

  Step 13

  now you must pick up the body and a brad.
  push the brad legs through the hole of the body and then through the hole of the arm.
  Attention, be sure all the front side are to the frontside.!!!

• 

  Step 14

  Spread the legs of the brad down , shorten dwon the to long legs a little.
  no 13.

• 

  Step 15

  do the same with the other parts of the piggy.

• 

  Step 16

  making the conection with the embroidery yarn between the arms and legs.
  start with making a knot in the end of the embroidery yarn and use an embroidery needle with a sharp point. and a tweezer.

• 

  Step 17

  Go with your needle through the top hole that is left over down.

• 

  Step 18

  go then to the next arm hole in the opposite direction, watch the picture;-D

• 

  Step 19

  With the help of the tweezer and the embroidery needle you make a knot by m aking a french knot. then you can cut of the yarn.
  and do the same with the legs.

• 

  Step 20

  with some tape you must fix the brads on the arms and legs.

• 

  Step 21

  Now we must make the connection of the ripcord to the arms and legs.
  use a clothpin to besure that the arms in hanging down position.!!!!
  now you must must make a knot in the middle of the rope between the arms.

• Step 22

  Do the same with the legs cord.
  Then you will have something like this.

• 

  Step 23

  Hang on the end a large bead on the ripcord. so it will be hanging down.

• 

  Step 24

  Hold trough a hole in the head of the piggy a small piece of embroidery yarn and make behind the back a knot and cut it of so you can hang you piggy on a wall or do somethingelse with your paper piggydoll;-D

• 

  Step 25

  be sure that the conncetion of the ripcord is working. by pulling the ripcord down.;-D
  because the holes are mayby a little small you must do this sometimes more and then the doll will be moving smoothly her , his bodyparts.
  use your fantasie
  hope you have much fun with this tute of making such small paper dolls.
  i have made a lot of them when i was a kiddo and all my friends loved to have him so i have used them on cards as well or by a poem in their friendbooks.;-D
  thank you for hopping by;-D
