At the same time, something special will appear in the arsenal of your baby's toys that will not leave him indifferent.
Getting ready
The manufacture of dolls from stockings is carried out using such materials and tools as:
- a set of multi-colored threads with a needle;
- Super glue;
- scissors;
- a set of eye shadow;
- 3 pins;
- ruler;
- synthetic winterizer;
- thin wire.
You will also need tights and socks.
Sweeties
The simplest craft of this class is a sweetie. For work, we need a stocking and a sock. The color of the doll’s clothes from the stocking will be exactly the same as the last. Trim the lower straight part of the stocking before the start of the heel. We lay the resulting part on a flat surface. Now you need to make hands and nose. For this we need 2 large pieces of padding polyester and one small. One of the major
put in the right corner of our trim so that it stretches it. Wrap the base tightly with wire and fix it. We cut it at the base. Similarly, do the second hand on the left side. In the center we put a small piece, in the same way we fix and cut it off. The resulting through-cut is divided in the ratio 1/3 (trunk) and 2/3 (head). Now you need to place a large ball from synthetic winterizer on the side of the head. At the same time, 2-3 cm should remain from the edge. From below and from above, wrap it with threads and tie it. From the bottom, add another piece of padding polyester. It should be oval. Sew it from below with a spiral seam. We measure the middle of the seam. We lift it with the help of threads and needles, pull it to the waist.
Next, proceed to the face of the doll from the stocking. Set pins in place of future eyes. Guided by them, glue the nose with superglue and wait until it dries. In place of the eyes, sew buttons and make eyelashes of black thread. From above, eyebrows are made in the same way. We embroider lips with pink or red threads. On each side, we pull the blanks under the ears opposite each other and carefully sew them so that they retain their shape and look quite natural. Trim the end of the sock so that it makes a hat. Put on the head. You can put a small forelock on the doll’s forehead.
Then cut off another strip at the sock. Its length should be half a centimeter shorter than the body of the doll. It will be clothes. We leave the skirt unchanged and sew it with thread, if necessary. But the shorts are stitched on one side from the bottom and fixed in the same way. At the final stage, we arrange the eyes and cheeks with the help of shadows (brown and shade as desired). That's it, sweetie is ready!
Snowman
It is much easier to make such dolls from stockings as snowmen. Three balls from a synthetic winterizer are needed: one small (this is the head), a little more (the body) and the largest (base). At the stocking, cut the bottom to the heel. We place a small ball and fix it with the help of threads. Similarly, the body and base are made. Below, all excess is cut off. Buttons are sewn in place of the eyes. A hat and a nose in the form of a cone are made of paper. They are attached with glue. A button is sewn on each of the balls in front (imitation coat). Then we decorate it to your liking and that's it - the craft is ready.
Conclusion
Dolls from stockings and sintepon are simple crafts that anyone can do. They can make an excellent gift. Your baby will definitely like them. So we take and do.
