1. Preparation:
First, prepare the required materials and tools. You need cloth, stuffing (such as cotton or cotton wool), thread, needle, scissors, needle and thread, drawings and pigments. Choose suitable fabrics and fillers, and prepare corresponding pigments and decorations according to your own design ideas.
2. Making drawings:
It is very helpful to draw a simple picture before you start making. Draw the outline and details of the doll on the map according to your own creativity and design. This will be your reference for making dolls.
3. Cut cloth:
According to the design on the drawing, cut the cloth into corresponding shapes. Pay attention to leave some extra edges for subsequent sewing and filling.
4. Sewing the doll's body:
Sew the two sides of the cloth together face to face with a needle and thread, leaving a small piece of unstitched position for filling. Ensure that the stitches are firm and prevent the filler from overflowing.
5. Fill the doll:
A filler (such as cotton or padded cotton) is filled into the doll through an unstitched position. According to your own preferences and design, control the number of fillers, so that the shape and texture of the doll can achieve the desired effect. When filling, it should be evenly distributed to avoid uneven or excessive expansion.
6. Sew the doll's opening:
After filling it out, sew the unstitched position with needle and thread. Ensure that the suture is firm and prevent the filler from leaking. You can hide the needle to make the suture look more natural.
7. Detail handling:
According to your design and creativity, add some details to the doll. You can draw five senses, such as eyes, mouth and nose, with different colors of lines or embroidered lines. You can also add hair, clothes and decorations to enhance the doll's personality and charm.
8. Improve and modify:
After completing the basic production, carefully check every part of the doll to ensure that there are no loose threads or other defects. You can do some retouching, such as trimming the thread, adjusting the position of details or adding some extra decorations.
