• fine decor for the granddaughter’s finished outfit (for example, stars, beads and beads, rhinestones, etc.);
• a patch of white felt;
• a piece of foam;
• scissors;
• stationery knife;
• glue gun.

Make the frame

In order for the doll to be stable and the skirt lush, it is necessary to make a frame. To do this, take the foam. In height, it should be equal to the length of the legs of the selected toy.

In the center of the foam piece, carefully cut a round hole into which you can then put the doll. Remember that she must not stagger. Then cut out a circle of arbitrary diameter from thick cardboard. The size of the future skirt depends on its size. Glue the finished circle to the bottom of the foam. Now grind a piece with a clerical knife on all sides to make a cone. The frame is ready.
