Pirate Jack
Christmas Boy
Christmas Girl
 
Basic hand sewing skills are needed to make these little pipe cleaner frame dolls. Adults, children 10 and up with some hand sewing experience and/or a younger child can do this with assistance. Time to complete - approximately 4 hours.

These little dolls are suitable for the young (3 years old and up), the young at heart, or anyone who could use a smile. They can be carried in a pocket, are easily manipulated, and are designed to stand up as well as sit. They bring smiles to people’s faces sitting on a desk or on a bookshelf. With a bit of ingenuity the basic patterns can be changed and you can adept the pattern to make other kinds of dolls.  See photos below.
 
Complete kits  include all the material you need to make a doll, patterns, and 8-10 pages of  step-by-step instructions. You will need to provide scissors, a sewing needle, white glue, thread and colored pencils for the face. If you have questions, I am just an email message away.

Why we love it: I like that this item is intended for older kids, who need a bit of a challenge to keep them busy. Perfect as a craft for a parent and child, or as a solo project for kids over 8. Handmade by an artisan, each one of these little dolls will come out with a personality all its own!
