Home » Arts & Crafts » Doll Making » Helpful Hints for Doll Making - Faces and HairMolding felt or fabric faces help you make dolls’ faces easily! The website of SistersAndDaughters.com offers a face-molding kit, which “includes molds, backing material for face, pattern for the doll, and foolproof instructions so you will have success with your very first doll.” The molds are reusable and can be used to make felt or fabric dolls.
They also suggest the use of felting needles in attaching dolls’ hair. They say, “Felting needles are the best thing that has happened to cloth dolls since muslin! These wonderful little tools allow you to virtually root any fiber into the scalp of a cloth doll. It's so easy and it's really fun to do! Simply lay the doll hair or fiber on the head and poke the felting needle in and out of the fabric. The felting needle will catch the fiber and root it into the fabric.”
