should measure 2"x1 1/4".) Fold the fabric in half, right sides together, trace pattern directly onto fabric. Stitch around on the line, leaveing an opening for turning and stuffing. Cut out
leaving a 1/8" seam allowance and clipping all curves. Make 5 In all.
Make a 1/4" loop in one end of wire. Push on a doll, a bead, and
another doll. Repeat until finished. Make another 1/4" loop and cut off excess wire. Cut a 20" or 24" piece of ratail, ribbon, chain or leather cord. The chain can be applied to wire loops
and closed tightly. With the other cords, push through loops and glue, then wrap tightly with a small piece of wire.
