  • Step 1Begin by giving your doll a coat of skin coloured paint. Allow to dry.
  • To make your own skin colour paint, mix a little bit of brown paint and some white paint.
  • Step 3Look to our doll designs for inspiration or come up with your own.
  • Step 4We have used a variety of collage materials to create clothes for our dolls. By combining different materials such as felt, patty pans, ribbon and wool on the same person, the clothes become much more interesting.
  • Sea grass cord makes great arms, while ribbon makes a good belt and helps hold clothing in place!
  • Step 6Scrunch up some crepe paper, curl up some chenille stems or use some yarn to create hair for your doll.
  • Step 7Finally, draw a happy face onto your doll using marker
