I resized the pattern to fit 15" tall for my D1. All pieces were cut out of a 12 x16 sheet of 1/8 birch. I then colored with acrylic paint pens, used pipe cleaners and ribbon for the skirt by stringing the through the holes In the top. Painted the wording and attached them, along with every other layer of the stockings on the board with 3m adhesive.
