How to make a Waldorf Doll | Phase 1: Creating the Head + Face

Описание: A Waldorf doll (also called Steiner doll) is a form of doll compatible with Waldorf (or Steiner) education philosophies. Dolls are generally made of natural fibers—such as wool, cotton, or linen—from their stuffing to their hair to their clothing. The dolls appearance is simply and encourages play and imagination. Use what you have on hand, to make something special.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to make the head and face of the Waldorf Doll

After we sheer the sheep on our farm we have plenty of leftover wool for projects like this and I love being able to use what we have on hand. If you don't have wool on hand, no worries. I encourage you to use what you have!

This tutorial is the 1st of 4 and will guide you through making the head and face of your doll.

Doll Footed PJs Pattern: https://www.etsy.com/listing/22712544.... I love making several of these PJs for my children’s doll as it is another protective layer for the doll. These PJ’s also seemed to keep their skin cleaner. They are easier to remove and clean than to spot clean your doll. It also protects their joints from getting directly tugged on. Our kids tend to carry their Waldorf dolls around by their limbs and it seems they are a bit more protected when they have their jammies on.
