How to make a "worry" doll

Worry Dolls are used in Central America by children.
According to legend, children tell one worry to each
doll when they go to bed at night, then place the doll
under their pillow. By morning the dolls have taken
the worries away.

Supplies Needed:
toothpicks / wooden clothespins
several colors of embrodiery floss or yarn
craft glue
small wads of paper

Directions:
1. Wind the floss or yarn around toothpicks. Wind each
arm and leg first. A touch of extra tacky glue holds the
ends of the floss or yarn in place.

2. A small wad of paper forms the base of the head, cover
with floss or yarn.

3. Attach arms and legs to the body of the doll with some
more twists of your floss or yarn.

Make an entire set each with different "costumes". Attach
a small doll to the top of a package, to a barrette, or to
a safety pin. The perfect accent for your hair coat or
sweater. Also makes a perfect gift for family and friends.
