Instructions
Step 1
Decide what size the toy will be. To do this, draw a rough, life-size sketch on a piece of paper. So it will be convenient for you to apply the resulting parts so that the doll comes out similar to the intended one.
Step 2
Choose the material of the color you want. Thanks to the wide range of tights produced, you will not have any problems. Try not to take a very dense nylon, it does not stretch well.
Step 3
Make a head from a suitable piece of nylon. Stuff it with padding polyester or cotton wool. If using a synthetic winterizer, tear it off with your hands, and do not cut it off with scissors. Then the surface covered with nylon will be smoother.
Step 4
Form the doll's face. Place a lump of filler where the nose will be and pull it down with a thread and a needle. Also place your cheeks and eyebrows. Sew the hole through which the head was stuffed.
Step 5
Create a face for your toy. For the eyes, you can use appliqué or embroider them with colored threads. Pieces of skin can be used for eyelashes and eyebrows. Make your hair out of thick wool or fur.
Step 6
Make a skeleton for the future doll out of thick wire. Cut a few pieces of wire with wire cutters and twist them together with pliers. Form the arms and legs of the doll, constantly referring to the sketch to maintain proportions. Give the skeleton the desired pose.
Step 7
Cut the foam into long thin strips and wrap them around the skeleton. Apply the wrapping evenly so that there are no dips and bulges. Cover the foam with padding polyester strips on top. To keep the winding tight, secure it with hot glue, thread or fishing line.
Step 8
Use the pins to form the necessary nubs on the doll. If necessary, add volume with padding polyester or padding polyester. Take a close look at the torso, arms and legs. If you are satisfied with the result, drag the pinned places with thread or fishing line.
Step 9
Pull the nylon over the skeleton. Sew it tightly to fit. Insert the head onto the remaining piece of the skeleton that symbolizes the neck, and sew the torso to the head. Make clothes for the doll. Add the necessary details to her look, and your homemade toy is ready.
