SAND
DOLLS
You will need to sew these dolls but they are easy and
so much fun at the beach. |
| |
You will be making a drawstring bag. |
| |
Cut a heavy cotton into a 14 x 28 piece. |
| |
Fold the top (of the long side) down and stitch it
in place. Leave room for a drawstring. |
| |
Then fold the material in-half, creating a square,
leaving the stitched side out. |
| |
Now cut a 4 slit in the middle of the bottom of the
square, cutting through both pieces of material. |
| |
Stitch around all open edges, up to top stitching. |
| |
Turn the bag right side out and draw a face on the
top half with permanent marking pens. |
| |
Lace a drawstring through the top hem. This can be
done easily by pinning a safety pin to the end of a sturdy
piece of ribbon and working it through the hole. |
| |
Take the doll to the beach or sandbox, let your child
fill it with sand, pull the drawstring tight and you have
an instant sand doll. |
| |
When its time to go home, just untie
the doll and dumb out the sand. |
