String Dolls!

Well, recently I came accross these very cute little dolls called string dolls or string voodoo dolls. I bought myself one, but thought they must be very easy to make, its just wrapping some string in a pattern!! So I looked it up and, right enough, there are lots of patterns for them on the internet!

The aim of this swap is to help us all learn to make them!! As this is the first swap, you can make a very simple string doll. Some of them you can buy are very adventurous and decorated a lot. You should try to decorate yours a little bit, but it doesn't have to be terribly intricate! There are lots of ideas here

You will have one partner and make them on string doll. As these are very small things, I will make this swap international!

The pattern is here (part 1) and here (part 2)

I have just made my first ever one, it's not perfect by any means! You can see a picture here

No newbies are welcome in this swap. I have had too much trouble with newbies in the past, and there are plenty of other swaps open for newbies at the moment! You must have a rating of at least 4.80 to join, and no unexplained no-sends in the last 6 months. If I think there's something fishy, I will delete you from the swap at my discresion! I don't like removing people, but I want this to be a good swap and for everyone to receive their items!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to message me!!
