Easy
- Cut a thin strip from a wipe, fray the end and tie in at the bend to form the shuck.
- Colour a piece of white cream organza ribbon with an olive marker pen. Cut a thin strip from one edge and remove the long fibres. Tie in at the bend and wind forward in touching turns. Tie in and remove the waste.
- Hold the pre-prepared kapok roll hanging back over the abdomen. Tie in the empty mesh at the front of the abdomen with the glued edge of the roll facing up. Bind down the mesh towards the eye and cut off any waste.
- Dub the thorax.
- Fold the roll forward over the thorax and tie down with tight thread wraps a little way back from the eye.
- Smear the thread with varnish, whip finish, pull the thread tight and cut.
- Trim the waste end of the roll over the hook eye.
