Tips

E' da un po' di tempo che medito di creare un "make a doll" kit, ovvero un kit dove poter trovare tutti i materiali che servono per poter creare una bambola per conto proprio. E' bellissimo poter creare una bambola con le proprie mani e poi donarla al proprio figlio, in quanto avrà sicuramente un significato molto più speciale di una comprata. Al di là del giocattolo, nella bambola realizzata dalla mamma c'è tutto l'amore e la cura che questa ha per il suo bambino.

Sul web cominciano a moltiplicarsi i vari siti dove si trovano tutorial con tutte le indicazioni dettagliate per creare una di queste bambole - anch'io ho finalmente messo in homepage i link al tutorial fatto la scorsa primavera- l'ultimo che ho visto si trova sul blog de "la pappa dolce" ... check it out!
But back to the idea of \u200b\u200bthe kit. It is still just an idea, although I would materialize in a short. However in the meantime I would like to give some useful links to websites where you can buy the materials to create a doll.

The best site as it is everything you need (even long needles for eyes and mouth) is at once child and nature
Personally, unless it is changed by a couple of years, wool selling They do not make me mad, but to start can go very well.

Another site where there is a lot of beautiful wool and also various shades of tricot is wollknoll is in German, but also those who do not not even chew a bit 'as I can navigate more or less ... and then there's always google translate to lend a hand!

If you are looking only wool, maybe even to try out some 'home made of felt, a very interesting site is spinnradl

My advice not to narrow the materials, ie always take a little' more because you never know what happens. And then if you forward a bit 'you can always create a wool gnomes or kitten as a companion for your doll.

Now you just need to make your doll you too ... or wait for my kit, P
If you know other useful sites please let me know!

See you soon!
