How to sew a doll from pantyhose

At the heart of such a doll is usually a wire frame or polyethylene bottles. To make such a toy, first of all, it is required to choose pantyhose. If they are too thin, then you can fold them in half. It is better to make the first doll out of jersey. This material is more difficult to spoil during work. Although it is especially interesting, how alive, dolls look from kapron pantyhose. For packing is used sintepon, will also be required:

• Threads of one tone with pantyhose;
• Threads for making hair;
• Cloth flaps for clothes;
• A mouline for embroidery of the eyes and lips of the doll;
• Needles for sewing;
• Pins;
• A thick "gypsy" needle;
• Wire for the frame.

The pattern is based on the size of the head. In order to make a more realistic model in size, it is necessary to observe the following proportions. The length of the head is half the length of the arm, and the length of the trunk is equal to the length of the arm. Thus, you can sew Waldorf dolls from pantyhose - the first pedagogical dolls, specially designed for toddlers of kindergarten age for harmonious natural development.

On the other hand, the smaller the model, the more difficult it is to sew clothes for the doll and perform smaller details: fingers and toes, nose and other.

After all the necessary materials are selected, you can start making dolls from pantyhose. The first is the head.

To do this, using a sintepon, a flat cake is formed and inserted inside the pre-cut "legs" from the pantyhose. Now a small ball of sintepon is rolled and placed in the middle of the workpiece - this will be the nose, and ears will also be added. Then, other anatomical features of the ears and nose form in the tone of the pantyhose. Instead of embroidery, the eyes and lips can be painted with acrylic paint or buy special eyes for soft toys in shops for creativity. From the fact that the facial expression will turn out, the character of the doll from pantyhose depends completely. The photo shows how different such toys can be.

Now a wire frame is made. Its appearance depends entirely on the doll. Some simple carcass models do not. Next, the frame is wrapped in a sintepon, and after that the pantyhose and the ready head are dressed. The fingers and toes are made just like the nose and ears. The final appearance of the toy is threaded. Hair from dolls from pantyhose is sewn, depending on the chosen model. For more complex patterns, each strand of hair is sewn in a circle, starting from the crown. If there is no time for such laborious work, then you can buy threads with fringe and simply sew them with the head of a doll. You can also use artificial fur that is glued or sewn.
