Now we'll adjust it down here. Round it off here. I cut three parts, right? I'll put one inside the
other so it will be more resistant. I cut a 15 centimeter circle and we're gonna make a yo-yo.
I'm gonna baste all the way around here. See? Down, up, down, up. I basted everything.
We're gonna put the egg carton here. Some places call it an egg carton, right?
See? I pull. Look how neat it is now, everyone. It's only turned into the doll's body, see?
I'm gonna adjust this basting here. Tighten it up, see? Really tight and I'll make
a little stitch to finish it off. To make the doll's arms, I cut a 16 centimeter cotton cord
and tied a knot at each end and then I did the exact same thing to make the doll's legs.
A 23 centimeter cord. We're gonna fold it in the middle here. A little bit of glue here.
Glue here, see? To make the legs, do the same thing. Fold it in half here. Put a little bit
of glue on it and adjust it under the doll's body. See? I cut an eight centimeter circle.
I'm gonna make a yo-yo fabric rosette to finish off the bottom part of the doll.
Look, I made the yo-yo and I'm gonna finish it off here on top. I'm not going to finish it off
down there because I don't want anything to show down here, see? I want everything to look nice
here. We're gonna glue this yo-yo here to make it prettier. Put a little glue here in the middle.
Now just apply glue here like this on the edge.
Apply the glue and press it down. Don't let the hot glue show everyone.
What really enhances the value of handicrafts is recycled crafts, right? Whatever you're going to
Recycling is very beautiful, but if the work is well done, the recycling will have more value.
Recycled crafts have more value whenever it's finished off and everything is beautiful.
A little attention to detail makes recycled work even more beautiful.
I cut another nine centimeter circle. I made another little circle
to put on the top, see? A little glue here on the edges, here in the middle too.
Then we're gonna center it here as neatly as possible. Okay, to make the head I cut a seven
centimeter circle. I'm gonna baste all around here and we're gonna make a yo-yo. Boy, girl,

but I'll leave a little hole open so we can add more if needed to make the head nice and round.
After it is stuffed, if you want the head to look even rounder, take some more filling
and add it to the areas where it is still needed. Until the doll's head is shaped exactly the way
you want it to be, the rounder, the prettier. To make the hair, I cut 20 strands of 15 centimeters
woolen type in the middle. Now we put them here on the doll's head. Let's imagine it first right
before putting on the hot glue. Look, this is where I want it. Okay, fine. I'll apply a little
glue here on the edge, see, and arrange this hair like this. I'll do it carefully and efficiently
and it will come to this side. I'll take a little bit of hair here. I'll do the same thing.
I'll put a little glue and arrange the hair here. Now we have to glue this hair back here. Look,
you pull it up here good, glue all over the head and then arrange the hair here to cover
everything. Okay, quiet. Nothing can show. Like I said, finishing touches are very important.
The more finished, the better everything looks. It's okay if it's recycled. Recycled crafts have
a lot of value, but everything has to be well done. Then we arrange the hair back here. You
can even use a brush if you want or a comb to make everything neat. Arrange it here in the front too.
Put everything nicely. You can even ask someone to help you tie this knot here.
Cut the hair, arrange it. Then to make the bangs, I'm going to wrap it around a finger six times,
tie it, cut the ends, and the bangs are ready. The bangs, people, make all the difference.
They look much, much prettier. I'll tie a knot in this little fabric piece and it'll be a bow.
But you are able to make a bow that is lovely and quite wonderful in whatever way you might
prefer. Okay, a little piece of fabric becomes a bow. Glue here, press it onto the doll's body
and wait for it to dry. Center it properly, then press it and wait for it to dry so it doesn't
look bad, folks. You have to wait patiently. They're so beautiful, aren't they? Look, each one
is more beautiful than the other. It's incredible how a milk carton that was going to be thrown away
scraps of fabric can be transformed into such a beautiful little doll. If you like this video,
