I made a small yarn worry doll. The main reason for this was just to test my fiber arts skills, and it certaintly did that. This project was a bit challenging, but the end result was worth it!

Cut four pieces of wire 9.5", 7", 5.5", and 3.5" long.

Bending the Wire

Bend the longest piece of wire into a shape that looks like round glasses, bend the second longest one into a triangle; the second shortest one should be folded in half. The shortest piece of wire should be in a circle.

Forming the Body

Take the triangle piece and put the folded-in-half piece's fold in the top. Twist the outer parts around the fold to make "arms" and secure the attachment. Hot glue it.
