The following diagrams illustrate the left arm but the

same way applies to the right arm too. 

Undo the string from the core and

cut in half.  Tie one of the strings

to the A part at the shoulder joint

with the tweezers.

Make a loop at the

end of the string.

Do not dispose the core of the string because it can be used as a doll stand afterward.

Put the end of

the string through

the loop twice.

Pull the end of the string and tie.

Bring the knot close to the arm.

Make a knot first, then

bring it close to the arm.

Put the longer part of the string through the

hole B in the projection at the shoulder joint

and then through the hole C in the

projection at the armpit of the body.

Attach the arm to the body.

Snap it in so that the

projections fit in the holes.

Be careful so

that the string

isn't caught in

the shoulder.

Put the end of the string through the

projection with a hole at the shoulder joint.

There are two holes, so make sure the

string goes through the hole A first.

A

C

B

Back

Notice!

Trim off the shorter end of the string which doesn't go through

the holes B and C with scissors.

Check the motion after both arms are attached.

Check!

Check that the

sleeves don't touch

the shoulders and

both arms move

smoothly.

Put the string from the hole C through the hole

D and hole E in the side of the body.  Then put

it through the hole F in the prop between the

knees and lastly put it through the hole G

twice and pull it down.  (It makes one loop.)

Do the same thing with the other side.

Let's continue the stringing at the side of the body.

Cut the tube into 5mm. Put the string

coming from the hole G through the tube

and fix with a wedge.  Do the same thing

with the other side.

Drive wedges.
