  Step 1

  First you'll need wooden beads like those . To use as the head .

• 

  Step 2

  ( Before I start ranting , Hi! Thanks for checking this out :D )

• 

  Step 3

  Matchsticks .
  You'll only be needing two (:

• 

  Step 4

  & yarn .
  To make hair .

  You don't have to . You could draw on the wooden bead if you don't want to use yarn .

• 

  Step 5

  Pick a lenght you think is suitable , and start folding it like such . Do it as many times as you want , according to how thick you want the hair to be .

  Please remember that you'll have to tie the middle part & that'll split it into two .

• 

  Step 6

  Tie the middle like this .

  Make sure the extra yarn used to tie the middle part is visible as you'll need to use it to put through the wooden bead .

• 

  Step 7

  Like this .
  The knot will ensure that the yarn gets stuck in the hole .

  Once that is done , cut the yarn ( hair ) to ensure it's straight and doesn't look odd .

• 

  Step 8

  It'll look like this .

  ( yes , I am aware the extra yarn is stick out of the hole . )

• 

  Step 9

  Glue to sides of the wooden bead where the yarn ( hair ) should be .

• 

  Step 10

  Then just push down the yarn onto the glue accordingly .

  Make sure you don't over-do the glue or else it won't look good .

• 

  Step 11

  Stick a matchstick into the bottom of the hole .

  The access yarn makes sure that it's tightly secured inside . You can also use glue before putting the matchstick in if you like .

• 

  Step 12

  Use another matchstick and see the lenght you want as the arms .

  When you are satified , cut it out .

• 

  Step 13

  Make sure it's not too short .

• 

  Step 14

  Then choose any ribbon you'd like to use as the dress for the matchdoll .

• 

  Step 15

  Measure the lenght .

• 

  Step 16

  Fold it & the cut .

  That way the front & back of the dress is set .

• 

  Step 17

  Make a hole small enough for the matchstick body to go through in the middle when you've folded .

• 

  Step 18

  Then stick the other matchstick where you want the arms to be .

  Let it dry properly .

  It should be just nice for the ribbon ( dress ) to sit .

• 

  Step 19

  It'll look something like this .

• 

  Step 20

  Then just push the ribbon towards the center .

• 

  Step 21

  Then tie that part with a yarn .

  Wrap it around several times & tie it hard .

• 

  Step 22

  It'll look like this (:

  ( Almost done! )

• 

  Step 23

  All you need to do now is draw on the face .

  Use markers , colour pencils , acrylic paint .

  Note : You can make them into little earrings , or as charms for bracelets , or stick them onto cards , or tree ornaments . The usage is endless . Enjoy! :D
