Fun to make! A collection of simple handmade doll ideas using a variety of materials
Do you all have dolls?
When we were little, we used them for make-believe play, changed their clothes, and some people carried them everywhere—when going out or even when sleeping—and still treasure them to this day.
This time, we’ve gathered ideas for making such dolls by hand.
Many of these dolls can be made from recycled materials like cans and cartons, and most of the supplies can be found at 100-yen shops.
So find a doll you like, make it, and have fun playing with it!

No-Sew Toothbrush Puppet
Grab kids’ attention! Here’s a no-sew toothbrushing puppet idea.
You’ll need felt in various colors, scissors, a pencil or something to sketch with, hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro), and fabric glue or a hot glue gun.
Make a cute animal that says “ahh” and opens its mouth wide to reveal dirt.
Since the dirt attaches with Velcro, you can take it on and off, making it easy to show how scrubbing with a toothbrush removes it.
Let’s make an adorable felt puppet!
