1. Cut two 16", and eight to fourteen 8" tules, and flatten them.
2. Center a short tule (#2) over the middle of a long tule (#1), then fold the long one in half.
3. Center a 2nd short tule (#3) over the folded #1, just below #2.
4. Fold both halves of #2 over #3.
5. Continue with #4, as with #3, folding #3 over #4, then #4 over #5, #5 over #6, #6 over #7 until all the short tules are used.
6. When the last short tule is ready to fold down, place one
end of the 2nd long piece over the doll, then fold down both sides
of the short tule, locking it in place. Then use the long end
remaining to wrap the lower part of the doll. Tuck the end of
the tule under the last wrap and pull tight. Trim the ends.
