  • Step 1Cut four long thin strips of green felt, approximately 5mm wide.
  • Step 2Wrap the strips around your dolly peg to cover your soldier’s body. Attach with glue.
  • Step 3Cut a long length of brown yarn and tie one end around the top of your dolly peg. Wrap the yarn around the felt to secure. Tie to secure the loose end.
  • Step 4Cut a small felt circle to create a hat for your soldier. Attach with glue.
  • Step 5Push a toothpick down one side of the peg, inside the yarn and felt. Use a marker to draw on some eyes.
