Dolls are integral companions of childhood. Of course, you can buy them in the store, but let there be toys made by the caring hands of the mother along with the toys purchased from the child. They will transfer the love of the parent to the child and will be made in a single copy. No one else will have another such toy.
How to sew a doll with your own hands?
Such a toy can be made not only for a daughter, but also for a competition. Any grandmother will be delighted if her granddaughter sews such a doll and presents it to her as a gift. To create it, little is needed, these are:
- plastic bottle with a capacity of 1.5 liters;
- synthetic winterizer;
- nylon tights;
- threads;
- needle;
- wire;
- nippers;
- scissors;
- for doll clothes - fabric.
First, cut the bottom of the bottle together with the bottom, as shown in the photo. Then wrap it with a padding polyester, and so that it does not slip, sew it on top of the bottle, tie it with a thread in its center. Pull tights on this structure, which are 2 times longer than the bottle itself. We tie them at the top with a ribbon.
He will tell and show you how to sew a doll with your own hands in a master class. Let's start shaping her face. To do this, we tear off a piece of padding polyester, put it under the tights at the top of the bottle. We sew the nose with a needle and thread, forming it as follows.
First we sew at the top, then we lower the needle down, form the right and left nostril.
To make the side wings of the nose, we pass the thread from above, first through its right wing, then up through the nostril, making 2-3 such stitches. Then we form another wing of the nose.
To make the threads almost invisible, take those that match the tights. In this example, light brown silk is used. The photo clearly demonstrates how to sew a doll with your own hands. The next ones show that you need to untie the upper ribbon and add a little padding polyester to the frontal part of the head, and for the cheeks too, but you can put it through the bottom. Form these parts of the face and continue working on the nose. It should look like this. Make your cheeks plump by helping yourself with your hands.
Now, through the bottom of the bottle, put a little padding polyester on the doll's chin, start shaping her lips.
And make the cheeks more realistic with a tightener.
It is not necessary to tighten the thread too much, otherwise it may break, thereby complicating the work. Due to tightening too much, facial features may become out of shape. Shape your chin, give your face a facial expression.
Eyes for toys are sold in craft stores, sew them into place, use a needle and thread to make eyebrows. Here's how to sew the dolls, but the work is not over yet.
To make your grandmother look her age, give your eyebrows a slightly frown. To do this, walk between them with a needle and thread.
Pass the rest of the tights at the top through the neck of the bottle and sew it here. Or screw on the plug and sew directly onto it.
Draw eyebrows with brown shadows, cheeks with blush, use them or lipstick to designate lips. Attach the wig.
To make your hair, wind the yarn around your helper's arms or the back of a chair. Then cut through the threads on one side, find the center and tie them here with the same yarn. For a bun, weave a braid from dense threads, wrap it in a spiral and sew or glue to the hair. Here's how to sew a doll further with your own hands. For this stage of work, you will also need a wire. Large segments need to be bent on two, and small ones on one side.
Cut a long strip of padding polyester 1 cm wide. Start wrapping it around one of the two large wires. Now attach a small wire to its other end. Wrap this wire too, then attach the next one and so on 4 pieces that will be fingers. Make your thumb a little later.
Now wrap another wire with padding polyester, this will be your thumb. Place it in place, wrap the palm of the toy with thread to highlight this part of the DIY doll.
You can tinker all fingers in the same way as a thumb. First, wrap them with padding polyester, and then attach toys to the palm of your hand and screw them with this material at the junction. Now cut off a wider strip of synthetic material and wrap it around the doll's arm.
Cut a rectangular piece out of the tights, place it on the doll's palm, wrap it around and use a needle to tighten your fingers.
Cut off the excess canvas and see what you get at this stage.
If the legs of the pantyhose are wide, make them narrower so that you get two tubes of this kind that you put on the legs of a handmade doll. Sew these tubes with the wrist of your hand, pulling well, and cut off the excess.
Reattach the handles.
