The foundation for this doll is a lollipop. The head may be traced on a piece of cardboard and painted with acrylics. Miss Lollipop's cap is white crepe paper gathered with a thread and needle. The back view shows the adjustment. The head is pasted to a piece of white around the upper edge to xx, leaving room for the top of the lollipop. Paste and use needle and thread to fasten on clothes. Follow this order in dressing: cap, underskirt, over-skirt, cape, tie. The cap edge should have a frill. All is white except the violet over-skirt and tie. For a Christmas doll replace the over-skirt and tie with red or green colors.

A Christmas Doll's Plans

I'm a Christmas dolly,

As you can see;

I was bought and hung

On a Christmas tree.

My mistress is named

Miss Janey Lou;

And I'll tell you right now

What I'm going to do.

In the mornings I'll rise

And rush all about,

Tidying the house,

Inside and out.

I'll dust and I'll sweep,

I'll bake and I'll stew,

All for my mistress,

Miss Janey Lou.

Then after our breakfast

We'll go for a walk;

We'll sit in the park,

And together we'll talk.

Oh, we'll be just the happiest

Pair in the town,

I-Christmas Dolly,

And Janey Lou Brown.

Christmas Eve by Christopher Moreley

Our hearts to-night are open wide,
The grudge, the grief are laid aside;
The path and porch are swept of snow,
The doors unlatched; the hearthstones
glow-
No visitor can be denied.

All tender human homes must hide
Some wistfulness beneath their pride;
Compassionate and humble grow
Our hearts to-night.

The number of images "linked" together in one continuous chain is determined by the length of the paper being cut. Use a very thin paper to make your cutting easier. Cut away the areas indicated by the design. (see image above and read text on the pattern below.
