About this ebook

Dive into the wonderful and creative world of doll arts and crafts with this easy-to-follow activity book packed with over 50 projects and a dozen patterns. Using inexpensive, everyday, even recycled materials, you'll make clever paper dolls, simple folk art dolls, soft cuddle pals, or 18-inch felt dolls, as well as cute and easy doll clothing, accessories, and basic houses. Clear instructions and illustrations guide you as you learn to: make and paint a cloth doll, recycle and refresh an old doll; make simple, silly dolls from spoons, yarn, sticks, and more; make a dollhouse you can fold up and tuck under your bed; and much more!

Along the way you'll learn fascinating doll facts and history, such as dolls' roles in various cultures and religions, the history of action figures, and the tradition behind scarecrows. Fun for younger girls and boys to explore with a caregiver or older kids to work through alone, Doll Crafts belongs in any craft-loving kid's home or classroom.
