- Use one skein of yarn for the hair and one yard of lace, ribbon, or single-fold bias binding in a matching color.
-
Step 2
Determine what length of hair you’ll use.
-
Step 3
Find a book or piece of cardboard that length.
-
Step 4
Wrap the book or cardboard with the entire contents of the skein.
-
Step 5
Cut one end so you can get it off the cardboard.
-
Step 6
Center the yarn onto the bias binding so that you have an equal length on each side.
-
Step 7
Place small amounts at a time under the presser foot and stitch it in place. You’ll have what looks like a mop head. This is called a weft.
-
Step 8
Use your fabric glue to glue hair in place on the doll. If you want to get creative, you can actually backstitch the hair on the head.
-
Step 9
Use iron-on transfers for the face. Use a barrier cloth – a piece of brown paper such as a paper bag – between the iron and the transfers. Read the instructions carefully on the transfer paper.
