Felt dolls are so easy to make. For everyone. Really, just start from the beginning (a good way to handle any complex project ;-D). I think even my kids could make these dolls. The only thing you need is specific material: wool felt, (felting) wool, pip cleaners, wooden beads. You can find them on
Etsy fe or in special shops (see left column
here). And then you have to know the
blanket stitch, which is not difficult to learn. I found the tutorial for the
wee felt folk via
Pinterest. I very much like her choice of colours and use of natural materials. And I think it's so cute that there's a pattern for trousers and for leggings. Differently than in the example, the daughters thought the little people should have eyes, so we did.
Een paar weken geleden heb ik soortgelijke poppetjes met onze drie meiden gemaakt, en het was prima en erg leuk om te doen. Zal nog eens een foto op mijn blog plaatsen.
