Making the Body and Arms…
* Cut red material into one 2" circle.
* Lay the white material piece for the apron right on the edge
of any place on the read material. Baste stitch as close to the edge of the
circle as you can, including the apron in the basting but stitching smaller
through the apron.
* Gather thread to close up circle just enough to add as much
cotton ball as you can get it and still close the circle of material so the
cotton doesn't show. Stitch it shut.
* Paint the dowel dark brown just an 1/8" on both ends
for the hands. Cover the dowel with one thickness of red material and glue.
* Glue the dowel to the very top of the body where it is
stitched shut and center it. Let dry.
Making the Head…
* Paint the entire bead dark brown. Let dry.
The holes in the bead will be at the top of the head and on the bottom.
* Glue a 2" length of black stretched out Bunka to the
top front of the forehead for the hair that will "peek" out from the
scarf you will add. If you have enough you can cover the hole in the bead too
but it really won't show with the scarf covering it.
* Cut a small triangular piece of the red material for the
scarf. All three points of the triangle will be positioned and glue directly on
the top of the head and covering some of the Bunka but not covering it all.
* Dip end of toothpick in white paint and dab on eyes
carefully. Let dry and then dip a needle or pin in black paint and dab pupils in
white area anywhere you like them to be. (Illustration of face shown below.)
* Dab toothpick in red paint and make mouth. I made a heart
mouth on mine.
* Add earrings with glue.
Your Aunt Jemima Doll is done!
