Instructions for Making Church Pew Dolls
- 1). Fold the handkerchief a third of the way down. Tie a simple knot in each top corner to make the hands.
- 2). Place the cotton balls or stuffing in the center of the fold. Close the handkerchief around it so it looks the size of a golf ball.
- 3). Tie the ribbon at the bottom of the ball and make a bow. This makes the head of the doll.
- 4). Stitch the lace around the front the head of the doll to make it look like a bonnet.
- 5). Tie french knot stitches to make the eyes and nose on the face. Additional stitching can be done to make hair and a mouth. Real make-up can even be added to make the face have color such as blush on the cheeks. Ribbon or lace can be stitched at the bottom of the handkerchief for extra detail if wanted.
