I used a mop handle.

I bought a tree stand at thrift shop, $3, found a broom handle, free. Covered that with the leftover cardboard paper towel roll, then used pieces of felt, newspaper balled up, (to make form), covered that with after Christmas (on sale, 70% off) wide ribbon, duct tape, then proceeded to paper mache it. Not as true to form as using a person, but once the clothes are on, I don't think it will matter. Besides it's a free form.
enjoyed your video.
