  Step 1

  Using skin color, paint the face and neckline of your clothespin doll.

• 

  Step 2

  Paint the torso, legs and the hair. (For my next doll, I will bring the flesh color up about an inch higher on the leg to “shorts” length, not capri length.)

• 

  Step 3

  Paint the face.

• 

  Step 4

  Paint the arms. You don’t have to get detailed with the hands, as this part will be hidden by the ‘tutu.’

• 

  Step 5

  Add the shoes.

  Set aside and let dry.

  Step 6

  How to Make a Pom Pom

  Grab your yarn and wrap it around your fingers about 70 times. Make sure you don’t wrap it too tight or you won’t be able to get it off. Make sure there is some space between your fingers.

• 

  Step 7

  Cut a piece of yarn a few inches long and poke the yarn between two fingers.

• 

  Step 8

  Pull the yarn through to the back of your hand.

• 

  Step 9

  Bring hand over and tie the yarn loosely.

• 

  Step 10

  Place the clothespin doll in the centre and push through the yarn so that legs stick out the other side.

• 

  Step 11

  Make sure there are yarn strands between the legs, as this will hold the doll in place.

• 

  Step 12

  Tie the piece of yarn in a tight knot making sure it stays in the center.

• 

  Step 13

  Cut the loops of yarn down the centre.

• 

  Step 14

  This is how she will look before you turn into Edward Scissorhands and give her tutu a tidy trim.

• 

  Step 15

  Trim her tutu so the strands are even. I like to leave them fairly long… looks more like a tutu this way.

• 

  Step 16

  Flatten out the pom pom using your fingers. Isn’t she sweet?

• 

  Step 17

  You could leave her like this – or add wings. I cut mine from pretty, gold metallic paper and adhered them with a glue gun.

• 

  Step 18

  I then tied a ‘Will You Be My Flower Girl tag to her neck. Voila! If you make this, please send me pictures!
