Use crayons, markers, or fabric to create clothes for your doll. I used the two little lines at the end to see where to stop. The first one down marked the end of the pants/skirt, and the second marks the start of the shoes.

To make the hair, cut yarn to the length you want and either hold it in with the clothes pin, glue it, or both. I recommend both for kids who are a bit rough with toys. To finish your doll, draw on a mouth and a nose if you want. Now you have your very own clothespin doll
