1   Cut out the dress, the collar and the petticoat from the template in matching colours.

4   Cut a piece of silver-plated wire for the hanger. Double over the wire and twist a couple of times and form it. Bend the ends to form a small loop.

5   Attach the hanger onto the card. Attach 3D foam pads and attach the hanger with another two 3D foam pads.

6   Attach the dress to the hanger with 3D foam pads. Use two 3D foam pads on top of each other to achieve the same height as the hanger.
