Cute molded doll

A cute doll that conveys a sense of three-dimensionality and softness is assembled using chenille stems (pipe cleaners).

You’ll use thicker, fluffy pipe cleaners, twisting and combining them, then shaping them to achieve your ideal form.

How many pipe cleaners you use is an important point: proceed while considering a size that allows the whole figure to be sturdy and a quantity that gives it dimensionality.

Once the overall shape is set, attach parts like the face to finish it—your choice of parts here adds originality to the craft.
