Description

Make anything using wool.


Resources

• Wool
• String
• Scissors
• Cardboard (cut into 15 cm wide pieces)
• Silver pipe cleaner (for angel)
• Green pipe cleaner (for zombie)
• Googly eyes (optional)

Instructions

The girls can make lovely dollies from any type of wool in any colour. They can choose between white angels and green zombies but can also turn them into any type of companion that they like!

Step 1: Gather your wool and some scissors.
Step 2: Wind some wool around an offcut of cardboard, about 15cm wide.
Step 3: When your wool is thick enough, cut the hank at the bottom. (30 rounds approx. for angel, 40 for Zombie)
Step 4: Tie a length of string around the hank to form the head
Step 5: Wrap some more wool around the palm of your hand to make another hank for the arms (10 for angel and 15 rounds for zombie)
Step 6: Tie the ends of the arm hank to make the hands. You might wish to cut the ends and plait the arms.
Step 7: Insert the arms into the body of the doll.
Step 8: Tie another length of string below the arms to form the waist.
Step 9: Tie a length of string to give your doll a hair bun. Now your dolly is ready to play with or decorate!
Step 10: To make your doll into an angel, insert a silver pipe cleaner into the dolls back.
Step 11: Fold the pipe cleaner into wing shapes and twist to hold.
Step 12: Your angel doll is ready to bring home.
Step 13: To make a zombie doll, use green wool. Use a green pipe cleaner (folded in half) so that the body and legs can hold their shape. Do the same with the arms.
Step 14: Tie and finish the body the same way as for the angel but after tying the waist separate the skirt into legs and tie off at the feet.
Step 15: You can tie a loop around the head to suspend the Zombie.

Outcome: The girls are encouraged to be creative. They could use the dolls as puppets for a show, string them together and form a bunting, or use them for presents for family to hang on the Christmas tree.
