 Each has a cute lilliputian personality!
  Seriously, thus cute right?
 I idea this would survive a fun tike arts and crafts Make Your Own String Voodoo Dolls!
String Dolls!

Okay...let's start alongside a disclaimer.
I did this projection alongside my 10 as well as 8 yr onetime kids.
I idea this would survive a fun tike craft...but it turned out 
to survive a lilliputian harder than anticipated...
so I ended upward doing all the wrapping...
as well as they came inward to decorate.

So hither is what you'll need:
Pipe cleaners
Wooden Bead or ball
Yarn
Embroidery floss
School glue
Hot glue
Scissors
Felt
Patience
Begin past times making a skeleton.
Pipe cleaner folded inward half...
Wooden Bead or Ball hot glued inward place
Bend pipage cleaners most an inch away from caput to brand arms.
Then dorsum to the middle.
Then curvature remaining length inward one-half for the legs.
It basically makes a star shape!
Then, brand a bunch--because I practice everything inward bulk!

Next, receive got your yarn.  We used white yarn and
covered the whole body.  It's similar the guts as well as skin.

We tied it off inward the middle as well as began wrapping.

  
Our pipage cleaners were thick fuzz, thus there
 was some trimming that took place.
We didn't bust out the hot gum until this point...
when the heads kept popping off!
I'd recommend starting alongside hot glue!
 
My daughters stroke of genius!

The yarn slips only about a bit, thus this is where I kind of took over.
I used hot gum to tack the yarn inward house hither as well as there...

Especially over the head.  It was thus slippery that
 the yarn only kept sliding off.  This is where I only wrapped all the residuum myself.
Finally all mummified!
Awesome...naked string dolls.
So, nosotros got out the embroidery floss.
You could usage yarn or twine...but nosotros receive got gangs of this stuff.
 
Now you lot are edifice the clothes!


I constitute that hot gluing the ends of the hands and
 then wrapping this agency worked best.
After 1 consummate affair of floss...
Side note: Why is it that embroidery floss ever gets tangled?
I unraveled the entire affair all over the kitchen thus it wouldn't
instruct twisted.
Ah...much better!  Pick whatsoever coloring combos you lot want!

After they were all covered...we spread a lilliputian schoolhouse gum on the
backside of them.  I idea mayhap this would proceed the string
inward house forever...since it was thus much piece of job getting it on!

Next is the FUN PART!
DECORATE!
Decide what you lot desire your guy to expect like...

I used to a greater extent than floss as well as a needle to stitch lilliputian X eyes as well as a right away mouth...
as well as some stitches on his chest.


 Green faced lilliputian zombie scarecrow guy!
Something most the raggedness of these voodoo dolls is thus charming!



And I intend this lilliputian bubble gum voodoo babe is my favorite!
I dear the uneven legs as well as the whimsical smile!



I wanted this guy to expect similar a classic xanthous happy face...

 A ninja!


 This push eyed 1 reminded me of Coraline.
 My iv yr onetime boy had to exhibit me how to practice the best Robot eyes...
he said "not cute eyes mom, mad eyes"
 I tried.  He does receive got an antennae, pincer hands
 and wheels...and a command panel.




I knew I wanted a lilliputian Santa/gnome guy.
The lid is out of felt as well as topped alongside a pom pom!

 Then nosotros used bits of felt as well as hot gum to decorate the pumpkins face.
And a stick from the yard for a stem!

Eyelashes as well as googily eyes--and a lollipop!

Wiskers, Ears as well as a Nose!



  I dear them!  I am certain I volition notice them scattered and
"hiding" inward random places only about the house!
Sounds similar the starting fourth dimension of a long describe of piece of job solid unit of measurement tradition to me!

Save for later!
