crease of the fold facing up. Using the metal ruler and craft knife,
cut a slit in the front sidewalk piece along the cut line from the
pattern. |

Working with the patterns face down, insert the folded
tab on the paper doll through the slit on the front of the sidewalk
piece, positioning the doll at one end of the sidewalk. Adhere folded
tab to the pull strip from the pattern (for extra strength, you
may want to cut the pull strip from cardstock and adhere it to the
pattern paper). |

of the front of the back sidewalk piece. Attach front sidewalk to
back sidewalk, positioning the paper doll on the top front piece.
