~ FINISHING INSTRUCTIONS ~

1. Stuff the head and body firmly, but be careful not to stretch the stitches. Lightly stuff the hair buns.

2. Sew the arms and legs to the body using a yarn needle and the long yarn tails.

3. Follow Piper's Hair Tutorial to add hair strands and bangs to your doll’s hair cap. You will also be sewing the cap to
your doll’s head. After you attach the hair strands, you can braid them into two pigtails.

4. Sew the hair buns to opposite sides of the hair cap.

5. Sew the head to the body.

6. With white yarn and a yarn needle, sew a “Y”-shaped collar to the doll’s dress, going around her neck.

7. Sew the wings to the doll’s back.

8. Lastly, add blush to cheeks using blush powder & q-tip. Click here for a blush tutorial, or scroll down to watch the video
tutorial.
