Today my sister is making this, cause she wanted to have a go at making something on Instructables as she always sees me doing. This doll style is a wonderful simple collectible and it's one of those things you can make a lot of and not get tired of them!!!

And since they are bassed of a tassel, they can be a fun group project.

Let's get started!

Supplies

  • Yarn / or embroidery floss,(floss is better but yarn will do)
  • Hot glue
  • Some colorful lengths of yarn
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Bendable wire, for the arms
  • Thread/embroidery floss (for the arms!!!)

The Tassel

Cut a length of yarn that is around 360 inches long! This may seem like a lot but it makes the dress fuller...and better!

fold it in. until you get a small lock of yarn. before you fold it put a piece of yarn in the middle and tie it.

Now with that black piece of yarn, we tied around in step 1 pull it up we will use this for the hair.,

And wrap some yarn around the base of the arms, to replicate puffed sleeves. and wrap some to tighten the body,...like a corset!
