Time out doll hair

23 years ago

Does anyone have instructions on making hair for time out dolls. I can't find the wigs and thought I would make the hair out of yarn.

Thanks,

Bobbi

Making hair out of yarn is not hard. You can use whole strands of fine yarn for straight hair, or you can unwind thicker yarn for curly hair. The yarn hair can be stitched or glued onto a ribbon or gauze and then glued to the head, or it can be stitched straight onto the head if it's made from soft material. The simplest way is to make a thick hank of yarn and tie it together in the middle with a thread of the same yarn. Fasten this to the doll's head, gather together and make a bun or a braid at the back, pulling the strands together to cover the top of the head.

Crafty College has sometimes had courses in doll hair making: http://www.craftycollege.com

Hi Joan, Is there anyway you could send me the pattern? I would graciously appreciate your time and effort. My husband had one of these dolls that he put beside his 52 Chevy at car shows & it was stolen. I would love to be able to replace it for him. Thanks! Kat

Hi everyone! Just joined...love crafts & narrowed it down to a few craft categories. 1. I do wire jewelry & have macramed since the 70's. I'd like to make polymer clay beads, but no nothing about polymer clay! 2. I'd enjoy sewing simple, dress-able dolls & bears! 3. Then there's learn to knit so I could make "Knitted Babies", by Caire Garland, "Stylish Knits For Dogs", & knit caps & clutches. I have quite a bit of (4-ply?) nice & soft wool. I'm a hopeless "Craftolic"! I've just listed 6 or 7...& I forgot to mention learning to wood-burn gourds! And then there is "One Stroke Painting"! In conclusion, I like to think I'm a Connoiseure of all crafts, a master of few. I have sewn since Barbie Doll patterns emerged in the 60's, I'm picking the dolls & bears for now. My favorite Christmas presents ever were in 1965. Santa brought me a BEAUTIFUL hand-crank, tan metal, chain-stitch, (Singer?) sewing machine! I just loved it! At The Denver Dry Co, my mom & dad let me pick a sewing basket with BEAUTIFUL blue-green antique-colored tapestry. They bought me "McCalls Needlework Treasury". So a couple of questions to all you experts here at the GardenWeb: 1. So what exactly IS a "Time Out Doll"? I've never heard of or seen one! 2. What are the hottest-selling fabric crafts for shopping mall "Christmas Fairs"? I have tons of un-napped fabric, a sewing machine, & am proficient in this craft. I can knit scarves & have the needles & wool. Thanks for info on these questions! ;)

Hi Patsy, I just saw your posting on in this forum about the instructions to make a time out doll along with some pictures. I am not sure how old the posting is but if you still have these instructions, I would very much appreciate it if you could send them to me. I have been looking for instructions for quite some time. If Patsy is no longer on this forum, I would appreciate it if anyone who did received the pictures and instructions would send them to me as well. Thank you so much. Geri gezeee@yahoo.com
