You can give these charming dolls as gifts, hang them on your tree, use them to decorate a package, or let them inhabit the holiday village on your mantel.
This design starts with a basic yarn doll, and then adds lots of embellishments.
Were offering a free downloadable sheet of clothing patterns to dress up your dolls!

Apply a little hot glue to the two side edges of the face piece, then wrap it around the head. Don't apply any glue to the center of the felt because it can soak through and leave indelible marks on your doll's face.


 Glue the top edges of the felt to the head.

Apply a little more glue along the top edges of the felt and press them down to the head. Those slits you cut in the top edge will help the felt wrap more cleanly over the head. You'll be covering this edge with a wig shortly.


 Wrap more yarn to make a wig.

Now to make that wig! Wind some yarn around the 4-inch side of the postcard, about 30 times. Tie this coil tightly at one end, and cut the loops at the other end.


 Spread the yarn out in all directions.
