Fit for a princess...

Davin and Miren were given handmade dolls for Christmas by their Aunt Carrie, and Davin has really taken to hers, coming up with her usual grand plans.  She came wearing a dress, but Davin has requested pants, shoes, gloves, and a crown.  So far we have only managed to make the crown, but I had to take a picture because although not exactly how I would have done it, reminded me again that I many times need to step back and let the girls exercise their artistic abilities.

The first thing I did was ask Davin to draw a picture of what she wanted it to look like.  Then I took her drawing and enlarged it to accomodate the doll's head.  It had to be "golden" of course, and then I just let her choose various ribbon and felt and cut out shapes as she saw fit.  I put the heat n' bond on the back, and then she placed them where she wanted and I ironed them on.

It was actually a quick project, and aside from Davin's first (but certainly not last) burn on the iron, I think it turned out great.

Booties are up next!
