If you set out to make a gift for someone, a souvenir, or you are simply drawn to creativity, make a doll with your own hands. Manufacturing technology is simple and understandable to almost anyone. There are many options for making dolls with your own hands. Surely you have worn out nylon tights: do not rush to throw them away.
Instructions
The first option for making a doll with your own on a cardboard frame is perhaps the simplest.
You just need to cut out the details of the future doll from thick cardboard, cover it with tights, fastening the nylon with threads on the back, and then sew all the details with secret stitches.
You can make hair from threads, and eyes from buttons.
The nose and mouth can simply be drawn with a felt-tip pen. Such a doll can be sewn into a dress.
Since the doll turns out to be flat, you can fix a magnet on a cardboard under a capron, then you get a souvenir on a magnet. Various fillers can be used to add volume.
The second option for making a doll with your own hands is a volumetric frameless. To make it, it is necessary to sew parts from nylon tights, fill them with filler (cotton wool, synthetic winterizer, etc.), and then connect. Just as in the first version, you can make a hairstyle and face, "put on" a dress.
The third option is to make a doll from pantyhose with a wire frame. The advantage of this method is that it can not only keep its shape, but also change it, "move".
First you need to twist the base from a fairly stiff wire.
Then the frame must be pasted over with cotton wool or other filler. From pantyhose, make blanks for doll parts into which you need to insert the base.
Use filler to give your doll the desired shape and shape.
Attach hair and draw a face, make clothes.
We have given only three options for making a doll from tights, in fact, the number of options for making a doll with your own hands can be limited only by your imagination.
