3. To simplify the physical work is recommended to make individually important components – the head and torso (if we are talking about any fairy-tale character). For starters, the first rod is fixed to the upper torso that would put a starting point for the location of the other rods. The first and the top forming a circle. From it, by means of connecting rods according to the method of the stiffener, connecting the first circle with all the others. It is worth noting that the more of these circles, the smoother will appear the torso of the doll.
