Description:

saw these tiny handmade doll head brooches and fell in love.

I feel curious to see how YOU intrepret their charm.

hand make 1 doll head w fabric. 2-3 ish inches in size

both cotton or knit clorh will work. ( you can use scraps they are so small ) the face can be painted or embroidered. ( painted works best on cotton. embroidered on cotton or knit )

your creation should include a head and a neck piece. use rhe picrure for reference but also make it your own. . hair can be done in yarn or wool or painted on. ( again painted is best on cotton )

the back should have some type of pin sewn or glued on so the reciever can pin it directly onto their sweater / shirt or jacket.

these can be purchased at a craft supply shop or you can DIY one w a saftey pin. ( just glue or sew the side that does NOT open directly onto the back side of the doll head )

The overall look should be vintage / shabby chic esq.

send to 1 partner w a little tag. write the name of the doll and 1 line of something that gives her character such as..

This is Molly, she loves eating clementines with her eyes closed.

I recieved a question, can these doll heads be croched. The answer is no. I am really curious to see how each of us creates a fabric doll head. Thanks for asking. also no clay heads or felted wool heads. FABRIC ONLY.

also the neck piece is open to interpretation, is does NOT have to be axactly as pictured however it should be fabric or lace.

you CAN use yarn or wool felt strands for hair, or you can paint the hair on.
