You'll simply ask yarn together with a book.

We used the LDS Hymn book...but it's virtually 8 inches inwards width.

Begin past times wrapping the volume 72 times alongside yarn.
Keeping runway of your starting yarn tail...

So you lot tin necktie it off at the top.

Then carefully describe the yarn off the book...keeping check of the loop you lot made.

This volition brand the caput of your doll.

Take the yarn ends together with necktie them simply about its cervix equally tight equally you lot can!

Like this.
Perfect piddling head!

Split off two sections for arms.
About 1/6th of the volume of the trunk on each side.

Braid the arms.

Tie them off alongside yarn.

Perfect arms!
Now you lot tin add together a waist band!

And decorate withal you lot like!
We got some teal together with tied it on her waist together with then
simply wrapped it all simply about her similar a shirt!

Wrapped it virtually 25 times simply about my hand...

Tied it together with wrapped it simply about her waist for the skirt bottom.

Tied it tight together with cutting all the looped edges.

Then did the same technique for some lovely greenish hair
(yes, nosotros solely had iii colors of yarn...that has since been remedied)

We also braided a sparse waist band.

We braided her pilus together with and therefore simply glued it
on overstep of her caput alongside hot glue!
Glued on the waistband too.

Googly eyes looked likewise cheesy...so nosotros cutting them together with took the
pocket-sized dark circle out of them together with glued it on!
