This past summer we rented a wonderful home on kibbut harduf (learn about it here) that was filled with homemade Waldorf-style toys and crafts, so I just had to photograph them to share with you. In the case of the felt dolls, I even found the book with the instructions next to the craft table, so you can actually make this wonderful felt king from this post. I think I'd love to make some too! Felt Waldorf-style dolls make wonderful creative gifts this holiday season, so why not give it a try?
Truly wonderful, right?
Here are the instructions above, give it a try. You might also want to check out this post, to see folks making larger versions, and to get inspired. The arms are made by wrapping a pipeclearner around the neck, and folding the pipe cleaner back on itself to give the arms more thickness. The pipe cleaner is then wrapped in yarn or roving. Check out this You Tube video to see how arems were made this way, but for a felted doll, here. Happy crafting!
