This is the way the fairies are made: From opposite sides, roll a handkerchief toward the centre, as shown in Fig. 1.  If you wish to  make a short fairy, roll it loosely; if a long-legged fairy, roll it tight; pull out the corners as you roll, and push the handkerchief up in the middle, as in Fig. 5.  Fold the upper part over, like Fig. 2; draw the lower part up between the corners, as shown in Fig. 3.  Tie the rolled corners behind the little figure’s back, and pull them out to make the arms, as shown by Fig. 4.  To make the eyes, buttons can be sewed on, and a covered button can be used as a nose; a few stitches of red thread will suggest the mouth.

The little woman can be made in the same way, but the lower part of the handkerchief must be rolled loose, as in Fig. 6, and folded only once.  This fold is made in the opposite direction from that in which you folded it to make the man.  This is so that the legs will not show from the front.  Tie the corners at the back, and pull them out to make the arms.  You will now have the feet, skirt and arms, and a large roll at the top, which is to make both body and head.  Fold about one-third of this roll forward at the place marked with little crosses.  This is to make the head.  Draw this head part closely together at the back, and pin it firmly, and you will then have a fairy woman to dance with the little man.
