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!
