A mechanical paper doll for the New Year...

       Assemble a Father Time mechanical paper doll from 1928! Just print, cut and follow the directions.

Directions:

1. Print and cut out the pieces.
2. Mount the page on stiff paper or cardboard.
3. Make the four pieces, following the heavy black outlines.
4. Run a pin through the spot (A) on the box and then through spot (A) under the lid.
5. Do the same with (B) on the lid and on the hand.
6. Now run a pin through spot (C) on elbow and upper arm.
7. Last, run a pin through spot (D) on body and spot (D) on legs.
8. Put little pieces of eraser on wads of paper over the points of the pins to keep the parts from slipping apart. 
9. Look at the small sketches to see if you have done everything correctly. Push the handle of the scythe gently up and down and Father Time will open the box to see his yearly present.
10. Note. - Alternatively, use tiny brass brads in place of the pins to do the same.
