Once upon a time there were five sweet sugar dolls who ate sugar from candy canes... Bring the cute standing figures into your home and make them as decorations for the windowsill or dresser.
With our creative set, the sugar dolls are very easy to recreate. The set contains everything you need to make five 12.5 - 14 cm high dolls, depending on how you put on the felt cap. All you need is hot glue, a small saw, double-sided tape and paint and a fineliner to draw the faces.
This is how the cute sugar dolls are made:
Faces:
Take the large wooden balls, the holes should look up and down. Now delicately draw the faces on the front of the wooden ball with a pencil. Start with the eyes by colouring them in with white craft paint. Then apply the pastel olive green for the iris. Add the pupil in black. Add a dot of light in white. Now draw the rest of the face with a fineliner, preferably 2.5 mm wide.
Hat & dress:
Place the templates on the felt or folding paper and cut everything to size. Two dresses fit on one piece of folding paper. Stick the dresses together with double-sided tape. Glue the hat together with a little hot glue. Stretch the ends of the hat a little, the hats will look nicer later and it will be easier to glue them on.
Sugar dolls:
First saw the round sticks to about 10 cm. Then place them in the wooden discs. Measure 6 cm from the bottom of the wooden disc and mark the spot. Pull a 15 mm wooden ball onto the round stick up to the mark. Fix it with hot glue. Now put the dress on and fix it with a glue dot to the wooden ball. Cut about 10 cm of the white chenille wire for the arms. Wrap the wire around the middle of the round stick and bend the arms into shape. Now you can glue the head on with hot glue and wrap the bow around it.
For the hair, cut off about 15 cm of the fairy wool. Double it and glue it into the hole of the wooden ball with hot glue. Distribute the fairy wool to the sides and the back of the head. Fix it to the head with hot glue. Now you can style the hair. Glue on the hat.
For the sweets, twist the chenille wires in red and white into each other and bend them into shape. For the lollies, simply saw off a piece of the round stick and glue or wrap chenille wire on it.
