About
The first one I made is called Frank
I made this because I wanted an Uglydoll but I wanted to customise it so I made this at the weekend.
I would recomend using old clothes and buttons for this make which saves money and it is eco-friendly.

Step 1Gather all of the things you need and lay them out on the table
-
Step 2Draw the main template on your A4 sheet of paper and cut it out
(HINT: use a small plate/bowl to draw around for the top od the head)Draw the lips and/or mouth onto paper and cut out
-
Step 3Take your fabric and fold it evenly in half - lining up the edges - and pin the template onto the fabric
Draw around the template with tailors chalk and cut around it leaving about a one centimeter margin for seam allowance -
Step 4Take the template off and re-pin the two halfs together and mark a two inch gap at the top before you start sewing as this will be the hole to put the stuffing in
Sew the two peices together - I recomend you use back-stitch -
Step 5Turn the doll inside-out
-
Step 6
Pin the mouth templates to the felt and cut out (you do not need a margin)
Sew or glue them onto the face but not too far up as you need to attatch the eyes -
Step 7Take two fairly big buttons - preferably slightly different sizes - and sew/glue them onto the face just above the mouth
Take three small pompoms, buttons, sequins, beads or jems and sew/glue them on as jacket buttons -
Step 8Fill the doll with the polystyrene filling and spread it about the body evenly
Stitch up the head using blind stitch or running stitch -
Step 9Now you are finished!
Enjoy!
my friend at school saw him when she came round my house and wants me to make her one with cat ears. I might post the images on here!! x
