The "Curly" Girls




I'm still busy sewing for my g'daughters..but took a break today to make these cute Sewing Spool Dolls. These are going in the pkg. with the new dresses.

I found this at The Idea Room..this gal is amazing and has the nicest blog with crafting ideas that will keep you busy forEVER! So I took her idea and made a little family. She painted her hair...I decided to try this..a bit curly, but the girls will like it. Next time I think I will paint on the hairstyles. Gluing the curls was a bit cumbersome, with Elmer's..maybe a glue gun would have been better. I also chose to use fabric pieces. I used a sharpie for the black feet on one...might paint the others to match their outfits..it was a fun, quick project.



I love the BRIDE...


Her bridal dress train...

The Bride and her Mom

Chatting together...

The whole family...


I just might make the boys a set of BOYS...mmm? Army men..use camy scraps and paint on a cover (hat)...or make cowboys using denim...the possibilities are endless...

HAVE FUN with... your creative heart!...and make a set!

HOPE~

Thanks for the link! They did turn out really cute! I like the idea of using fabric scraps for their clothes. I am sure your granddaughters are going to love them. And thank you for the kind words!

Such beautiful "girls", I'd love to make them too!! But I won't be able to get those "heads" and for those wooden spools, they are rare. What we have over here are plastic spools tube-like.
