Paint the legs the desired colour. These will be the ski pants!<br \/>\n2. To make the body of the sweater, cut off a finger-tip from the glove. Cut off the top part of the finger-tip as well. Slide this over the &#8220;body&#8221; of the doll (the handle of the spoon). Roll down a cuff. Glue the sweater to the spoon handle.<br \/>\n3. To make the sweater sleeves: cut off two finger-tips. Roll them up the long way and glue the long edges together as shown in the photo.<br \/>\n4. Glue the sleeves to the back of the doll.<br \/>\n5. The toque is super-easy! Cut off a finger-tip and fit it over the head. A cuff will form on the toque. Glue on a pompom.<br \/>\n6. The scarf is made form a strip of felt with fringed edges.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: To make the second leg glue on a popsicle stick to the spoon handle as shown in the photograph below.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">TO MAKE THE SKIIS AND POLES:<br \/>\n1. Paint the popsicle stick &#8220;skiis.&#8221;<br \/>\n2. The ski poles are wooden skewers (from the Dollar Store) pierced with small felt circles.<br \/>\n3. To make the ski boots: cut out 2 tiny rectangles. Round the ends. Fold down a small part from the end and glue this piece flat to the skis as shown in the photo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_0047.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-192 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_0047-267x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0047\" width=\"267\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_0047-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_0047.jpg 558w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/files\/2018\/06\/IMG_0045.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1043\" src=\"https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/files\/2018\/06\/IMG_0045-290x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"290\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/files\/2018\/06\/IMG_0045-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/files\/2018\/06\/IMG_0045.jpg 609w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/files\/2018\/06\/IMG_0047.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1044\" src=\"https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/files\/2018\/06\/IMG_0047-267x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/files\/2018\/06\/IMG_0047-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/thebiblemademedoit.com\/heavens\/files\/2018\/06\/IMG_0047.jpg 558w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blessed Giorgio was an avid skier!
