Doll made from mop head
A mop doll is the same as a yarn doll.
Mop Doll/ Yarn Doll: you will need, Mop head( plain gathered center type) cotton twine small styrene ball. Insert the styrene ball under the center gather. Arrange the strings of the mop to cover the ball. Take a piece of string and tie at the botom of the head where all of the mop strings are now. This is your head. Now take a few strands to the left and right of the mop head and braid. When you have finished braiding take both ends of the " arms" and secure them together to make a loop. Divide the remaining kops strands in half and bring the " hand areas into the center. Re drape the mops strands over it. the braids will be doubled. To secure the arms in place take apiece of twine and tie just under the area. SO it looks like a breast area. Take another piece of twine and gather remaining strands. Tie at " waist". to create torso. Now divide the remaining sarnds into left and right bundles. Either braid or wrap twine so that they form legs. Now you can make felt clothing. If you desire that the hands become the hangers, simply omit the arm into brast step and loop up. but tie a section to be top of bodice. julie "Crafty Claire" wrote in message ... Hi I'm trying to find instructions on how to make a doll from a mop head. I saw one a few years ago but can't remember how it was made. It's an ornament type that you would hang on a wall. Different sections of the mop were gathered to make the arms and legs etc. It also had a dress, not sure what the face was like. I'm a youth leader (teenagers) and thought this would be a fun craft item to make. If anyone can help with this request or if anyone has other ideas, I'd be very grateful. Thanks |

Hi Julie, There's another pattern (a LOT more complicated) at the HGTV web site: http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/cr_dolls/ar...370873,00.html Liz On 08/04/2003 07:25 PM, julie wrote: A mop doll is the same as a yarn doll.
