Introduction: Clothespin Dolls
This is an instructable on how to make a clothespin doll.
Step 1: Materials
You will need:
clothespin(modern):..........:
..........:crayons/markers(you can make fabric clothing if you wish but it might be more fun to let kids draw on clothes):...........:
..........: yarn of your choice:..........:
..........: googly eyes of varying sizes:..........:
..........:glue:..........:
..........:duck tape (optional)
Step 2: Eyes
Glue on two googly eyes. You can use duck tape to make glasses if you wish.
Step 3: Clothing
Use crayons, markers, or fabric to create clothes for your doll. I used the two little lines at the end to see where to stop. The first one down marked the end of the pants/skirt, and the second marks the start of the shoes.
Step 4: Head
To make the hair, cut yarn to the length you want and either hold it in with the clothes pin, glue it, or both. I recommend both for kids who are a bit rough with toys.
To finish your doll, draw on a mouth and a nose if you want.
Now you have your very own clothespin doll
Step 5: Other
The dolls above are examples of different things you can do, you can use duck tape to create glasses or necklaces or even hair and clothes.
