• Step 1

  Get your fabric and measure around the body of the doll. Make a mark onto the fabric of the length and width you want it.

  Cut out the long strip

• Step 2

  Glue this onto your doll and you now have a top

• Step 3

  Now get your differnt fabric and measure around the dolls body mark off the length and width again.

  Using your measurments create a skirt shape and cut it out

  - all you are doing is creating a skirt and top so if you want to just cut out the skirt and top without the complecated measurments then feel free ( it still works perfectly fine it is just to be more precise)

• Step 4

  Optional step: Get a pipe cleaner and rap it around the doll's waist so when you put the skirt on it gives it boyency - picture 2

  Or you can just put the skirt on and ruche it up like in picture 1

• Step 5

  You can ruche by pusing the material up and then gluing wait until it drys then you can do more

• Step 6

  Now you have the top and skirt it is time to do the hair
  Use your embroidery thread to create the hair. On picture 1 I used the brown embroidery thread and created a flat oval I stuck this on and then for the bun I scrunched up a small bit of thread into a ball and glued it on. Once dry you can play around with it and add beads

• Step 7

  I used a black pen to draw the face - 2 dots for eyes, 1 for the mouth

• Step 8

  Cut a pipecleaner in half and rap it round to create bendy arms which you can ajust.

  Arms are optional (they still look good without)

• Step 9

  To make a bag you can use the white thread and double it over slide it through the bead, glue the end and ta da you have a bag

• Step 10

  You can create hair pices,belts or flowers to go on the dresses aswell

• Step 11

  Your doll is done finally after all the fiddly and fustrating hard work
  but now you have an original piece

  Time may vary between 1 to 2 hours Please exuse any spelling mistakes
  All of my appliences cost a bit less than £20 - they last, I have made 6 with the same materials!
