Making Handmade Rag Dolls As Alternative Activity For Moms And Kids
by Elnora McCullough
Having handmade rag dolls will never go out of fashion for many girls. It is one of the sweet and soft companions little girls love to hang out with. The nice thing about these is that they could come really sweet but making them would be very easy. Mothers and daughters should make many of these together and enjoy the time that they will be spending.
The idea of having personalized toys often made people feel excited. It is one thing to play with them and another thing to make them. This exciting thing could be shared by daughters and mothers if they need to bond. They just need their sewing kit and their wild imagination to make this.
With the template, one could start by cutting the fabric. They can use it for the body. They just have to follow the dotted lines of the template as a guide for cutting. They can use many of the cut outs if they wish to make many pieces. What is important is that the fabric would be easy to cut especially for children.
Once this is set they can start with the stitching. Mothers are the ones who usually take care of this. Others would prefer to sew the clothes with their hands while others would want to use the sewing machine. The advantage of the latter is that the sewn parts are secure. It would take a long time for the thread to loosen which is actually perfect for this part. Excess fabric should be snipped after.
With the use of polyester batting they can create the feet, head and hands. The important step would entail laying out a star and making a ball out of it through the help of a chopstick. They can do this over until they come up with the right size of the body parts.
The batting would be tied to more fabric that are the same color as the one used for the body. They can just tie the ball using some yarn of thread. They can stitch the bottom opening to make sure the batting would not be removed later on.
The body could then be stuffed so that it would take the doll shape. There should be enough stuffing to make the fluffy toy. Some would prefer to use the batting but they could also try cotton and other types of stuffing. They could then sew the head, feet and hands into the body.
They could also start with the decorating or making of features. They can start with the hair by sewing yarn in it. There are others who would just stick these, depending on the hair that they want. The facial features could be sewn or glued as these could be bought in crafts shops.
The face could just be drawn using some coloring materials that kids have. Others choose to stitch them though. There are also available face features in many crafts store. The options are endless.
