i've been thinking about making this for AGES
today i had literally minutes to make somethingso i gathered up my ingredients
and jumped in with both feet!
ingredients:an orphaned russian doll
a scrap of fabric
some plain pins
some fancy pins
a styrofoam egg
open up your doll cover the egg with the scrap of fabric
you want to pull the fabric tight - i used stretch velour
pin fabric to bottom of the egg
cut of excess fabric
pop the covered egg into the doll bodyi didn't use glue as it was a perfect fit
load with a few pretty pinsand you're done!
this was so simple but
i love her!

What a very clever/awesome idea - it'd be a great use for a lonely matroyshka who'd lost her babies! :)
I love this!
Fantabulous!!

I absolutely love this. You are a GeNiUs...

I love it too :)
I just love this idea!
And I loved it even more once I'd stopped the momentary freak out of 'omigod someone has the exact same russian doll from the 80s as me'.
Well done!
Very cool! I love those dolls.
Will be linking on Dabbled.org this weekend :)

*LOVE* ... you are a clever thing Mrs vV! x
this is perfect! i love that it has a little cover- i am going to put mine in my travel craft bag.
(found your blog through the 'next blog' feature)
love this project. super cute!
Perfect idea! Thanks for the explanation!
Wow! cool! found you through CRAFT! and I have that exact matryoshka doll!!!!! My mom bought it for me at some international fair in DC in about 1967 or 68, I think! and my kids have lost one of the littler dolls inside!
Another brilliant idea - now where did I put those old Russian dolls??? I'll be turning the house upsidedown looking for them!
Great idea, and one could use the bigger dolls to store spools of yarn for a sewing kit!
funny you should say that Eva - look out for my next post!
That'd make a great Mother's Day gift! Where can I get the egg and the fabric? I love Matryoshka, thanks for sharing this!
so practical! I could use one of these for sewing on the go!
that is what is known as a stroke of genious!

That was Excellent!!!! I wonder where I could get a styrofoam egg... hm!
I've got pins and needles just thinking about antique jewellery Each piece carries a unique history and timeless elegance that modern designs often can't match. Collecting and wearing these treasures feels like owning a piece of the past, full of stories and craftsmanship.
