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!

Lay the wig out on a work surface and use your fingers to spread out the strands evenly in all directions.


Glue the wig to the top of the doll's head.

Place a dollop of hot glue on the top of the doll's head. Press the center of the wig into the glue. Then, arrange the strands of hair so they fall all around the head.

Designate a series of these strands to be bangs. Push the rest of the hair back out of your way for a moment.


Cut the bangs. Apply a little glue under them and press them to the forehead.
