Dolls

Our dolls were displayed at the senior center during the Black History Month celebration.

Becoming a doll

We started with an empty bottle with a little rice for weight. 

The head was formed with fiberfill or batting and tied around the neck of the bottle. A little more batting was tied around the bottle to shape the body. Thin t-shirt material was pulled over the head and tied around the neck.

                                     

The face was shaped with few stitches. With addition of yarn for the hair and the clothes, the doll started get personality. 

 Here she is. All finished and ready!
