How to make Clothespin Dolls!

Dress the doll using the pretty scrapbooking papers and felt.  There is no right or wrong way to do this.  Just pick your paper and wrap around the clothespin, cut and glue in place.  Use the sequins and beads to add bling.  Every doll loves a little bling!

For the hair, I glued on two beads to represent hair buns.  Fun!

Final touches included painting in the features and the hair and the shoes.

Each doll is completed differently, limited only by imagination!

Each has its own little personality!  I have to admit that once I got started with this project, I couldn’t stop!  If I was 12 years old again, I’d still be up there playing with them!

Next time you hear them say, “I’m bored!”, gather some supplies and let them create some fun miniature people of their own!

Bet you like making them too!
