2. Use scissors to cut into many small sections, following the scribed marks.

3.First, use paper tape to bind the two head lengths of bamboo sections together.

4, then stretch a line about a foot long on the spool, and use paper tape to stick it behind the head, without cutting it afterward.

5. Underneath the head, use paper tape to roll the small section of bamboo around the neck as well, and roll the thread inside. The thread remains uncut.

6. Take the longest section of the torso, lay it under the neck, and roll it in paper tape as well, while curling the thread inside. Don't cut the thread yet, save it for the bottom.

7, put two legs of a bamboo section, placed under the torso, also with paper tape with the line rolled in it. After sticking the thread to the leg, fold it back to the torso and stick it with paper tape. Save the thread for the left leg.

8, the other leg of the bamboo joints with the same method, the line rolled in it. At this point the line can be cut. Take another line, leave a foot of thread first, and then roll one arm of bamboo with paper tape along with the line inside.

9, and then leave the line a chopstick thick amount, and then another arm of bamboo with paper tape to roll the line inside. After taping, leave another foot of thread and cut it. Cut two one-foot lengths of thread, one to be taped to the lower end of the right leg with paper tape. Tape the other foot of thread to the bottom of the left leg with paper tape. Place the two taped arms on either side of the shoulders below the neck of the figurine. The villain is roughly done at this point.
