LITTLE WOOLLY MEN

It is quite easy to make little woolly men. Take some wool—any colour — and wind it round and round a book till you have a skein twenty or thirty strands thick, as in the first picture. Then you take this oft the book and tie cotton round at various places, like the second picture. The top section is for the hair, the next for the head, the next for the body and arms, at the end of which we have the hands, and

the legs, with the feet. As yet it does not look much like a man, but you now take a pair of scissors, and cut the loops at the top of the head to make fluffy hair. Then cut the loops at the ends of the arms and legs, to make fingers and toes. Next, sew a piece of coloured ribbon round the waist, and with a needle and coloured wool, you sew eyes, nose and mouth. A number of these little men or golliwogs, made of different coloured wools, make an attractive decoration for a nursery mantelpiece or Christmas tree.
