How to make a Sleeping Beauty doll with wool:
Materials:
* 6 inch cotton pipe cleaner
* 4 inch tubular cotton stockinet
* some cotton, doll makers Jersey fabric for the skin (an old t-shirt will do)
* Sewing needle and some thread
* some colored wool of your choice
* woodland wreath
* felting needle (optional)
 |
Create the head |
 |
Sew on the skin, then place the pipe cleaner in the center to make the arms. Be sure the arms are the same length. |
 |
Sew the skin around the arms |
 |
Wrap some wool roving around your pipe cleaner |
 |
Repeat on both arms |
 |
Create a shirt by wrapping wool of another color around the arms and body |
 |
Make a hole for the head in a flat layer of wool |
 |
Push the head through the hole, and over the arms in the front.
Wrap a small "string" of the same color wool around the waste nice and tight. |
 |
Move the wool around to get it where you like it on the arms |
 |
Finish off by needle felting or sewing the hair, and drawing the face. |
 |
Place her on the woodland wreath, or anything else for her to rest comfortably on while she sleeps |
It's nice. Thank you for sharing.
