Dollmaking is one of life's innocent joys. As the doll takes shape within your hands, there is no room in your mind for negative thoughts. Time slows down; the focus is on the creative magic taking place before you. Whether you are crocheting, sewing, knitting, sculpting, or simply wrapping wire with floss, the doll is taking shape before your eyes, with a piece of your soul wound around it. These dolls are derived and inspired by a series of YouTube tutorials by Emilie Lefler. She has 60 tutorials, from 9 to 19 minutes in length, where she shows you how to create some truly beautiful dolls from bead, floral wire, floss, and flower petals. The first tutorial shows you how to make the basic doll. The only thing I do differently from Emilie when making the dolls is to wrap the end of the wire at the hands and feet, instead of securing with hot glue. In fact, I don't use any hot glue in the making of the doll body (a bit when doing the hair, though). Instead, I bury the beginning of the floss when wrapping the doll, then at the end insert the floss tail into a tapestry needle and run it into the dolls body for an inch or sew and cut off, as in the image below. Also, my dolls are shorter, since I bend up the bottom of the leg about and inch or so to wrap all around the foot and then up the leg. These lovely dolls are easy to make; I've used flower petals, fabric circles, and crochet to make their outfits. Some of them are remove-able (the crochet one's) others are not. After each doll is complete there is such a feeling of sweet accomplishment and joy. Giving the dolls away shares this joy with others. Here is a fun way to create a stand for your doll, which can be embellished or not to your heart's content. Using wood plaques or wooden disks or coasters, glue a small wooden spool to the disk. Make sure the hole in the spool is large enough to accommodate one foot of your doll. After the glue dries, decorate your stand as you like. The top one I just added buttons and ribbon roses randomly, the one on the left is a birch disk (from Michaels) with a wooden drawer knob masquerading as a mushroom, and the one on the right rather more elaborate with a crocheted doily and flowers glued down. One dainty foot fits into the spool, and holds the doll in place :-) Three dolls on one stand! And a sweet Emerald doll for my sister's birthday :-) Create a space for joy and make a doll.

Bring a little magic home with our whimsical creations... This listing is for a handmade flower fairy doll ornament with a wand. Please note the antler crown is delicate and the doll will require gentle handling. Meet Amethyst! She is a winter fairy who can make trees, lichens, moss and grasses magically sprout from the earth so that the reindeer are always provided with food and shelter. She also looks after orphaned fawns and keeps them safe in a magical wintery land where she calls home. Her favorite things to do are gathering magical berries, playing in the snow with her reindeer friends, writing poetry, and resting on wild mushrooms tops gazing at the twinkling stars. She is approximately 4 1/2 inches tall with her antlers and is made with a hand painted wooden bead, floral wire, wool yarn, cotton embroidery thread, fabric flower petals, tulle, chiffon, glitter and embellishments. Our dolls are made with love and a sprinkle of magic. They will need gentle and loving care. They thrive in a dry and cool environment and may leave enchantment dust. For decoration only. Not intended to be a toy. /!\ WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

There are 2 things that I always have on hand – one is pretty scrapbook paper and the other is silk flowers. Silk flowers are great for craft projects (in fact, I think all of my upcoming projects will use them!) and they tend to go on sale fairly regularly at craft stores. Another great source for cheap silk flowers is the dollar store. So I’ve had this thought for a while that silk flower petals would make great fairy skirts, and I had a vague memory of seeing small fairies made with pipe cleaners and large wooden beads. So after a quick search of the internet I found this great tutorial on Treasures for Tots for making quick and adorable fairies: http://treasuresfortots.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-to-make-tiny-fairy-doll.html I was thrilled to discover that I had all the supplies needed on hand and was even more excited by how easy they were to make – one fairy took less than 30 minutes! Supplies: Pipe cleaners (light colors are best but anything will work Wooden beads Embroidery floss (I have a large multicolor pack that I bought on sale – I used off white for the “skin” and yellow for the hair) Felt for dress and wings – I used regular soft felt for the dress and stiff glitter felt for the wings. Treasures for Tots has a template but, as per usual, I eyeballed it! Ribbon Hot glue gun Silk flowers with medium to large petals (optional: small silk flowers for flower hats) Scissors Step 1: Fold the pipe cleaner in half and thread through the bead Step 2: Thread “hair” through the loop above the bead and then pull loop down halfway through the bead. Twist to secure Step 3: Shape pipe cleaner into body Step 4: Tie embroidery floss under the bead (around the neck) and begin wrapping the top part of the pipe cleaner arm – don’t worry if the pipe cleaner “fuzz” sticks out a bit! Step 5: Once you get to the end of the arm, fold the wrapped and unwrapped parts of the arms together and begin wrapping them together, heading back towards the body Step 6: Repeat process with the other arm and then make your way down the body, using the same technique to wrap the legs Step 7: Cut out dress and wings – like I said, I eyeballed this because I knew the majority of my dress was going to be covered by flowers Step 8: Silk flower skirt – be as creative as you want to be with this part! I pulled apart 2 silk flowers and cut out the petals and hot glued them onto the felt dress. I then tied a ribbon around her waist to cover the tops of the petals. Step 9: Glue on the wings Step 10: Finishing touches – I used a black permanent marker to draw a basic “two eyes and a smile” face and used the hot glue gun to glue the top of her hair to the bead and then braided it. Then I stuck a small flower into the top of the bead as a flower hat. They have been a huge hit with H and she’s asked me to make more. She even took one in to school for show and tell. When H asked me why they have flower hats, I explained that it’s so they can hide in the flowers: Next week’s project: the fairy house….

❤️Treffen Sie Sunny, die zauberhafte Blumenelfe! Sie ist eine handgemachte, posierbare Fee, die es kaum erwarten kann, ihr neues Zuhause bei dir zu finden. ❤️ Die Figur ist ca 2,5 inches groß und passt damit perfekt in einen Miniatur-Feengarten im Maßstab 1:24. ❤️ Es eignet sich perfekt für grenzenloses kreatives Spielen. Sie liebt es mit Kindern zu spielen und wird niemals müde. Sie kann Finger Umarmungen geben, indem sie ihre Arme um den Finger Ihres Kindes schlingt, auf einem Regal ausgestellt ist oder stundenlang herumfliegt. Sie kann ihre Arme und Beine in jede erdenkliche Art und Weise biegen, was ein Kind sich vorstellen kann, und ist ein guter Zuhörer. Sunny ist perfekt für drinnen und draußen, aber passen Sie auf, dass ihr Körper aus Stickgarn besteht, das schmutzig werden kann. Sie reist auch gerne und hat genau die richtige Größe um mit ihren Freunden auf jeglichen Abenteuern mitzugehen. Sie liebt die Eins-zu-Eins-Zeit mit Kindern oder Erwachsenen, sowie das Spielen mit anderen ähnlich hergestellten Puppen, die in meinem Shop zu finden sind. ❤️ Ich habe dieses Puppen-Unikat mit der Absicht gemacht, dass Kinder sanft mit ihr spielen und sie anfassen können. Aber Sie sollten Ihr bestes Wissen und Vorsicht walten lassen, ab welchem Alter Kinder mit ihr spielen, weil sie kleinere Teile hat, die bei grobem Umgang eine Erstickungsgefahr darstellen können. Sunny ist nicht für Kinder unter drei Jahren geeignet. ❤️ Sunny wurde in einem ländlichen Teil von Utah von mir, einer Mutter von zwei Kindern bei Tag, einer Meerjungfrau bei Nacht und einer Prinzessin immer, liebevoll und nachdenklich handgefertigt. ❤️ Wenn Sie Fragen haben, die hier nicht beantwortet werden, zögern Sie bitte nicht, mich über den Etsy-Chat-Bereich zu kontaktieren, und ich werde mein Bestes tun, um Ihnen bei der Beantwortung Ihrer Fragen zu helfen. -Wenn Sie eine benutzerdefinierte Puppe bestellen möchten, senden Sie mir bitte eine Nachricht im Etsy-Chat-Bereich oder beachten Sie meine Mini-me-Puppenliste, die Sie finden unter: https://www.etsy.com/PrettyLittlesOutlet/listing/1247275460/mini-me-doll-custom-gifts-custom?utm_source=Copy&utm_medium=ListingManager&utm_campaign=Share&utm_term=so.lmsm&share_time=1669957688035 -Ich LIEBE es, besondere Puppen zu machen und würde mich freuen, etwas Magisches für Sie, Ihr Kind oder jeden, den Sie kennen, zu machen, der ein wenig Magie in seinem Leben braucht. Ich habe viele individuelle Puppen für viele glückliche Kunden erstellt! ❤️ Alle Bestellungen aus meinem Shop sind endgültig und werden nicht zurückerstattet, aber wenn es irgendwelche Probleme mit Ihrer Bestellung gibt, kontaktieren Sie mich bitte und ich werde Ihnen gerne mit allem helfen, was ich kann. Mein höchstes Ziel ist die vollkommene Kundenzufriedenheit. ❤️Haftungsausschluss: Die tatsächlichen Puppen können aufgrund der Art der handgefertigten Produkte und / oder Bildschirmabweichungen geringfügig von dem Bild auf Ihrem Bildschirm abweichen. Aber ich gebe immer mein Bestes, um meine Puppen so nah wie möglich an den Bildern, die ich in meinem Shop veröffentlicht habe, mit so wenig bis keinen Abweichungen herzustellen. Obwohl sich jede Puppe verbiegen kann und soll, kann übermäßiges Biegen die Puppen beschädigen. Vielen Dank für Ihren Besuch auf meiner Seite. 😊

These flower fairies were the biggest hit at the craft fair. They are made from fake flower pedals, floral wire and embroidery floss. I had a lot of fun making each one original...every fairy has a unique dress and hairdo.
