Question

How do I make arms for a clothes pin doll?

Community Answer

Take two toothpicks, and cut them accordingly to the clothes pin in the position you want the arms to be. Glue the arms fittingly to the clothes pin. For hands, cut the ends of popsicle sticks, and glue them on the end of the toothpick.

Question

How do I make a paper doll?

Community Answer

Cut out two doll shapes and then stuff and glue them together; or you can make separate body parts and stick them together. However, paper wears out really fast and is kind of hard to use, so try making fabric dolls instead.

Question

How can I make some parts move on a papier-mache doll?

Community Answer

With papier-mache, you really can't make parts move - your piece might end up crumbling to bits.
