First you need to take two balls of woolen thread - light and dark, as well as a small book, cardboard and scissors. That is, the costs of not only time, but also materials are small.
So let's get started! First you need to wind light threads around the book. After this, they are cut on one side. The same is done with black threads. Only now they are cut on both sides at once.
Light threads are folded in half, and dark ones are distributed evenly around them. From above, near the edge, they are tied with one dark thread. The most important thing is to tie the knot as tightly as possible. In this case, the doll will not fall apart and will delight the baby for a long time.
After this, the light and dark threads are carefully separated from each other.The result is the hair and body of the doll made from wool threads. You need to be very careful to ensure that the threads do not get tangled or mixed up.
The next step is the head. In order to make it, you will need to take another dark thread and tie it around the doll’s body. The main thing is to form a round ball.
Next, let's start weaving the arms. The principle is the same. We wind dark threads around the same book and cut them on both sides. Well, after that all that remains is to remember your childhood while braiding your hair.
These “pigtail” arms must be inserted between the threads of the “torso”. They are inserted directly under the head, after which a dark thread is tied tightly under them again. The result is a head, hair, chest and skirt.
The doll can be left in this state, hanging on the wall, or, as already mentioned, on tree branches during the spring holidays. However, you can also make a desktop souvenir. It is for this purpose that cardboard may be needed. A cone is cut out of it, the tip of which is smeared with glue. The doll sits neatly on this cone, and that’s it! The toy is ready!
All that remains is to make the mouth and eyes. You can draw them with a felt-tip pen, you can sew on pieces of fabric, or you can glue cardboard parts of the face.
Well, then it all depends on your imagination! For example, a doll can have a variety of hairstyles. Braid your hair, tie a ponytail, make a bun - everything is at the discretion of the master!
The dress can also be decorated in different ways. Here you can sew flowers, leaves, abstraction... In a word, the doll can turn out to be unusual, bright, original!
In addition, it will become not just a toy or an attribute of a spring holiday, but also an ideal decorative decoration for any apartment.Making such a masterpiece takes no more than half an hour, but it brings a lot of joy!
