Instructions
Doll’s Head and Body
Create a simple wire frame with pipe cleaners for the body of the doll. This step is essential for
being able to pose the arms and legs. Be sure to wrap the wire around the neck several times to
ensure that it is really sturdy! The frame is easily adjusted while working the doll if the lengths do
not match. If the pipe cleaner is too short just twist another one on to the end to extend it and if it
is too long just bend it over inside of the doll or cut it off!
Take 2 pipe cleaners and twist them together. Repeat this step until you have 5. With one of the
twisted pipe cleaners, create the head and torso frame. Bend the pipe cleaner for the head at 4
1/2” long and create the head so that it is 1 1/2” tall. Twist the remaining pipe cleaner around the
neck several times.

With the other four pieces, create the arms and legs. Fold the tip of the arm over slightly for the
hand and so the pipe cleaner doesn’t poke you! Leave the neck about 3/4” long. Make the arms 5
1/4” long and twist the excess around the torso. Repeat for the other arm. For the legs, fold the
end over about an inch for the foot. Make the legs 6” long and wrap the excess around the torso.
Repeat for the other leg.
