To make this tiny witch, you need a 1:48 scale head and hands.If you don't want to sculpt them, you can use a wooden bead for the head and cut paper mittens for hands.
Make the Body
- Cut out the dress and the sleeves from the paper sheet.
- Roll them gently round a pencil to curve them slightly.
- Fold a 1/8 inch edge along one of the straight sides of the dress, dab this fold edge with white glue, and glue the other straight edge to this edge, forming a cone. (see photo) Set aside to dry.
- When the dress is dry, glue your head on a 1 inch length of a toothpick. When the head has dried on the toothpick, run a bead of glue along the back edge of the toothpick, starting 1/4 inch below the head.
- Gently insert the toothpick into the top of the cone and press the top of the cone together to make shoulders. Hold the shoulders and toothpick neck in place with the tweezers until it holds in the glue. The head should be up to 1/8 of an inch above the cone.
Make the Arms
- Fold one of the longest edges of the sleeve down 1/8 of an inch to make a glue tab.
- Fold the widest section of the sleeve (at right angles to the tab you just folded) to make a hem on the sleeve, the sleeve will be glued to the back of the witch and folded in front, so check the length of the hemmed sleeve, then glue the hem in place.
- Glue the remaining long edge onto the tab you folded, set aside to dry.
- Place the narrow end of the sleeve behind the body and fold the sleeve so that it bends to the front of the body. When both sleeves are folded to the right position, glue them in place behind the body.
- With the sleeves in place, fit the hands on the toothpick broom handle, and set them so they can be glued into the bottom of the sleeves.
- Glue the wrists or arms in place in the correct position to hold the broom.
- Glue on hair.
- Make the hat and broom following the instructions in the next step.
