Translation From The Picture
Set of 25 stitches. Set of 18 stitches.
dc = double crochet with a loop
dc = double crochet with a loop, but without the last yarn over, i.e., there are 2 loops left on the hook at the end.
Drawing the thread through the upper horizontal loop. Picking up loops and yarn over as if working a chain.
Next Outfits
We select clothes for our beautiful people.
At this stage we prepare the lace.
They can be glued or sewn.
Sew on the head and handles
Who will use wool for hair, do this:
We roll the wool over the head.
Preparing the curls (it’s better to prepare them in advance)
We dilute TTBA glue with some water and dip the distributed strands of wool in this
some water with glue and braid the hair. Let it dry, and then unravel and
roll to the head. But this is at your discretion. You can give the doll any hair)
Or we make hair from yarn.
In Order To Disgrace Our Face Like This, We Need:
• White cotton fabric.
• PVA glue.
• Acrylic paints, brushes.
• Fabric markers.
• Pastel.
• Glue moment “Crystal”.
We are preparing white cotton fabric. We will draw eyes and lips on it. First thing
Apply a layer of PVA glue, let it dry, and I speed up this process with a rub.
And using a template, we draw eyes and lips. The idea to draw on fabric was taken from the Internet
In order for us to understand what size template we need, we need to attach it to the monitor
head and enlarge it to the desired size, print it out or trace it with a pencil from there
same monitor
Next, cut out the inside of the eyes, mouth, nose and eyebrows. Why everything? After,
I'll explain why.
In the meantime, we apply our template to the fabric and redraw it with a simple pencil
eyes and mouth.
We decorate with acrylic paints and crafts to your taste.
Вырезаем. Таким образом, краска наша прочно приклеилась к основанию и ткань не
осыпается.
All that remains is to glue them in place.
How to do it? This is where we need a template with
cut out eyes, eyebrows, etc.
Thanks to the template, we put everything in place
We fix and glue the “Crystal” moment with glue. And we draw the eyebrows and nose
with a srlomaster, also according to the template, thereby marking their correct location.
Everything was glued symmetrically thanks to the template...... and this is what we got.
Next, all that remains is to tint the face. s:I used dry pastels and srlomasters according to
fabrics.
Embroider the nose. And glue the eyelashes.
That's it, our face is ready
You can now attach the cotton pads in their place.
There are special threads on the bag of cotton pads with which you
you can easily attach them to the buttons. And on the other side of the package there is
special preview where you can get our discs.
Sew on the wings.
Decorating our box with chopsticks. Carefully remove the sticks and cover the glass
double-sided tape and glue the fabric. Glue the flowers.
We glue the cup with sticks with super glue to the arms of our doll.
For the skirt we need a piece of fabric 50*30.
We process the edges so that the fabric does not fray. Fold the piece in half so that the height
was 30 cm, and the width was 25 cm. We sew the edges together. At the bottom of the skirt
we sew the lace, and on top we bend the fabric 1 cm wide and sew it, then
put a rubber band there. That's it, the skirt is ready. You can also make pockets for rubber bands
etc. We put it on the doll, thereby masking our cotton pads!
Our assistant is ready!
