Make a Doll Face Necklace

Doll face necklace It’s a new year and we look forward to share new easy craft with you! You can do exactly as we do or be inspired to make your own designs. Today we make easy and sweet necklaces using wooden beads and acrylic paint.

Doll face necklace2 You need wooden beads in two different sizes, acrylic paint, brushes and ribbon or string to thread the beads on. We also used a black permanent marker to paint the eyes with and a colorful bead with a small hole. Doll face necklace3

1. We have painted the beads in two different ways. On the first we placed hole of the beads horizontally. That way the doll can get neat little pigtails on either side of the head. On the other one the holes is placed vertically and the doll gets a knot at the top of the head. We use barbecue sticks to thread the beads on when we paint. Hair, eyes and cheeks painted with acrylic paint and/or waterproof pens.Doll face necklace4a

Print round and even cheeks using the flat side of a barbecue stick.Doll face necklace4

2. Let the paint dry and then thread them on to ribbons or strings. The large wooden beads have big holes. To prevent the beads from falling off from the the necklace with the holes vertically we had add a colorful bead with a small hole to it.Doll face necklace5

The necklaces are easy to make and can be varied endlessly. Believe us – these are just some of the necklaces we made! Let everyone gets their own, with their own eye- and hair color. Doll face necklace6

    We wanted to try this but used Sharpies since kids aren’t into watching paint dry. They were a hit! Thanks for sharing.

    Fågelhus i papper med mall – Paper birdhouse with template | Craft & Creativity – Pyssel & DIY
    5 December, 2019 at 1:43 pm

    […] Om du skriver ut mallen i fullstorlek så blir fågelhuset ca 10,5 cm högt, 4,5 cm djupt och 7 cm brett. Jag skalade ner mallen och gjorde några mindre också. Längst till vänster i bilden ovan ser ni även mitt smyckesträd som jag bloggat om tidigare och ett dockhalsband som jag fått av Karin & Freja på Pysselbolaget (länk till deras beskrivning). ————- If you print the template in full size the birdhouse will become about 10.5 cm high (4″), 4.5 cm deep (2″) and 10.5 cm wide (3″). I scaled down the template and made some smaller ones too. On the far left in the picture you can see a jewelry tree from a previous blog post and a doll necklace given to my by Karin & Freja from Pysselbolaget (link to their tutorial). […]
