Give a second life to an unpaired glove or gloves with holes that can no longer be used as intended.

Steps

1. 1 Gather the required materials.
2. 2 Cut your fingers off your old gloves. Throw away all fingers that have a hole at the very top (unless you are making a bald doll, where your finger will be bald).
3. 3 Treat the base of your fingers to keep the fabric from fraying. A regular hand stitch will work. Apply glue to the base if you are not skilled or do not want to sew. Just flip the base with your fingers and glue.
4. 4 Decorate the dolls:
   • Use eye felt (cut out small eyes or circles) or glue on pre-made eyes from the store.
   • Glue the nose with felt, glitter, or small buttons.
   • Make a mouth. Glitter stickers will work, but you can cut the smile out of felt and glue it on.
   • Add hair. Use yarn, wool, thread to make your hair. Hair can be loose, tied in a ponytail, braided, long or short. It is fashionable to make a beard from pieces of cotton wool or wool. Glue or sew on hair and beard.
   • Dress up your doll. Sew on or glue on the fabric using your imagination. Add a bow tie, scarf, jewelry, buttons, etc.

Tips

• A simple puppet show can be made from a shoebox or from a porridge box. If you put the box on its side and cut out a small window, it will be a scene. Make sure your hand goes into the box. Decorate the stage with curtains and spotlights. Lace, buttons and fabric are what you can glue to the box to create a great theater.
