i've got pins and needles . . . .

i've been thinking about making this for AGES

today i had literally minutes to make something
so 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 body
i didn't use glue as it was a perfect fit

load with a few pretty pins
and you're done!

this was so simple
but
i love her!

why?!

i don't know why but i've been looking at this style of doll on ebay for sometime now,
i never much liked them before but because they come up in my searches fairly frequently
i've been seduced by their charms!
i came across these by accident whilst checking out a sellers other items
i was surprised how small they were and by how much i liked them!
Something else to collect perhaps?
my ebay watched items list gets longer and longer!

i do think she's pretty and kinda flirty!
