An Eclectic Homeschool Journal

The Angel dolls Kate and Josh made today with Ms. Rachel. Kate's doll is on the left; Josh's doll is on the right.

Each time they meet with Ms. Rachel they've worked on a project from Feltcraft - Making Dolls, Gifts, and Toys by Petra Berger. We adapted the directions to use gold chenille pipe cleaners and glitter glue instead of the little tiny beads the directions suggested. These dolls turned out really easy once we had all the materials.

The hair on the dolls is raw wool that we washed and carded in an earlier visit with Ms. Rachel. We now have the instructions for making a drop spindle so we'll be able to spin wool too.
