Indian Doll Stand

Betty, Susan, and Cindy each bought one of these dolls several years ago, when Betty got home she asked me to make a stand so the doll would stand up (original equipment wasn't good).   The doll has stood in our den for a number of years, until Susan noted it last Christmas eve and askd me why I hadn't built her one.   Then Cindy wanted to know the same thing.   So lets make some doll stand(s).
