The arms and legs are made by tightly rolling pages of newspaper to make the "bones" of the marionette. You will need to roll 8 "bone" pieces. To begin first cut eight pieces of kite string 12 inches long and put them aside.

Use a full double sheet of newspaper (as shown) for each bone piece.

Using your full double sheet of newspaper, fold it over 4 times. You should end up with a strip about 4 inches wide and 11 to 12 inches long. It's o.k. if it's not exact. Use your ruler to firmly press down the folded edges of the newspaper.
