You Will Need (2 things)

  • 1 skein of Yarn (2 is optional
  • 1 rectangle of white or cream Felt

Steps (5 steps, 3 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take what you need in the picture beside here

  2. 2

    You take your yarn and put the end under the front cover of the book. Start wrapping around the book until you feel comfortable with your person's body size.NOTE: You person will be fat if the wrap-around is thick!
    Girls:Add a second color for the hair. Mind you make it less than the body!
    Boys: No second color, the boys look better bald. (no offense intended)

  3. 3

    Tie it (this will become the hairline) and slip it off the book. If you hold it up you will have to cut directly under the tie.

  4. 4

    Seperate the two colors and tie off the head. Take off a chunk of yarn from the body and tie it close-ish to the head. repeat on opposite side. Go down an a bit from the "armpits" and tie off the waist. Boys: Seperate the remainder of the yarn in half. Tie these halves and voila, legs.
    Girls: Leave the remainder of the yarn alone. (optional for girls: cut a felt rectangle a bit longer than the girl's skirt and tie around the waist. leave about a centimeter above the waist so the apron doesn't fall out.

  5. 5

    Have fun and play with them! After all they might be a flipping acrobat! Sorry for the blurriness. It is suppossed to do a flip.
