The Penny Rose Paper Dolls Bakery collection by Sibling Arts Studio is on its way into stores right now, which makes it the perfect time to bring you a fresh & easy tutorial featuring these sweet prints.
For Small 4″ Dolls, You Will Need:
1- Approx. 10″ square piece of C4353 Paper Dolls Background – any color
1 – Same size piece of coordinating print for backing. I used C4355 Red Paper Dolls Dots
1 – Approx. 10″ piece Peltex 2-Sided Fusible Ultra Firm Stabilizer
Ribbon, Yarn, or String – 6-10″ per ornament.
For the 8″ Dolls, You Will Need:
1 Square Cut-Out of Doll from the DC4351 Multi Paper Dolls Panel
1 Square Cut-Out from same panel of coordinating backing fabric or any coordinating fabric or choice.
Same size (approx. 5″x8″) piece Peltex 2-Sided Fusible Ultra Firm Stabilizer
Ribbon, Yarn, or String – 6-10″ per ornament.
The method of construction is the same for the 4″ and the 8″ dolls. Simply layer the Peltex between the backing and the top fabrics. Press both sides, holding the iron about 10 seconds in each spot. When front and back are pressed, let the piece cool for a minute.
Cut each doll out, leaving about 1/4″ space around her.
Stitch, using a narrow zig-zag, around the edges, but not directly touching the edge, as shown.
Using sharp scissors, cut a small hole at the top of the ornament, but under the stitching.
Loop a piece of ribbon, yarn or string through the hole and tie off. That’s all there is to it!
These cute little ornaments also make a fantastic gift tag.
Or even a unique luggage tag! Enjoy!
