You Will Need:
1 Pipe Cleaner
16 Millimeter Wooden Bead (Unfinished)
Light Peach Embroidery Floss
Needlepoint Thread
Sharpie Pens (for the face)
Faux Flowers (for the dress)
Embellishment Glue or a Hot Glue
Faux Leaves
First fold the pipe cleaner in half, like this. |
Push the wooden bead up the pipe cleaner and leave a loop at the top. |
Twist the pipe cleaner a few times to make sure the head will stay on. Then form the body like this. |
Take the embroidery floss and tie a tight knot just below the the head and start wrapping it around the first part of the arm. |
Once you get down to the end (about the length of the last picture) Fold the arm back and tie both parts together. |
When you're done wrap the thread around the "chest" and criss cross a few times like the picture. |
Start wrapping the thread down the torso until you get to the waist. Then choose a leg and start wrapping that leg. Tip: Wrap the torso a few times so the chest sort of blends in. |
Once you get down to the "foot" bend the small foot part back and wrap back up to the torso. |
Wrap the torso with another layer of thread. |
Split the thread in half and tie a knot. Cut off the rest of the string and be careful not to cut off the knot. |
Draw on her face with your pens. Add a nose, mouth and eyes. I added cute little freckles. |
Enjoy. |
