About

I was making the mouse pluchie wich had moveable limbs, and of course the washers and pins were all wrapped in boxes for my upcoming moving-S
I found that out on sunday morning when i needed them, so i didn't want to buy new ones or to wait till t he hardware shop was open on monday morning.
I was upset of the long waiting time of the moving and allready live too long between boxes.
So suddenly it thought why can't i make them by my self? So i was searching all around my house for useable things to make them.
I found out to make themof plastic tubes of meds wrapping and curtain hooks.
I thought mayby it's nice to make for you all a tute to make your own tools for such a doll.
Of course you can use the ironpins you can buy in the hardware store with washers , and of course if you don't find such one you can use tiny moertjes en boutjes as well
But that's up to you.
i hope it's helpful for you all.
much succes and thank you for stopping by;-D
