Instructions
Step 1
Make a ball out of a sheet of newspaper, crumple it well. Then wrap it in another sheet of newspaper. This will help make the surface of this shape smoother.
Step 2
The resulting ball must be inserted into the stocking so that the ball is at the very bottom of the stocking. Put your hand inside the stocking and use your other hand to pull it up to the elbow.
Step 3
Try to pull the stocking off your hand a little, and rotate the newspaper ball with it. Next, with the hand that is inside, take the ball wrapped with the lower end of the stocking, pull it towards you and turn it again. This must be done several times in a row.
Step 4
Next, you need to cut a rectangle 15 * 10 cm from hard cardboard. Roll it into a tube, the diameter of which should be such that your finger or your child's finger can go there.
Step 5
Using scissors, you need to poke a hole at the bottom of the ball. After expanding it, grease the walls of this hole with glue. There you need to insert a cardboard tube - this will be the doll's neck.
Step 6
Cut out the mouth and eyes from the same cardboard. They, as well as the cork as a nose, must be glued to the ball-head.
Step 7
Make hair for the doll in the following way: wrap yarn around the bottle (the wider the jar or bottle, the longer the hair will be). Rewind the yarn with the same thread.
Step 8
The threads need to be cut from the side opposite to the waist and, having smeared the doll's head with glue, glue the hair-threads to the head.
Step 9
Next, you need to make the body of the doll. To do this, cut out two parts of the glove torso. Grease the edges of one part with glue from the wrong side. Apply a thin layer of glue. Glue the other half of the glove down inside out. Make your hands also out of cardboard, draw your nails with a felt-tip pen. Squeeze some glue into the holes on the neck and sleeves. Insert your hands into these holes, press down for gluing. The head should be inserted into the hole in the neck. The doll is ready - the last stage can be its decoration. Do this as your fantasy tells you.
