| Doll wears a star covered visor to keep the sun out of her eyes at doll camp. |
My version of this popular doll craft is made from recycled materials and decorative papers. The example shown, just right, has a star patterned paper on the outside of the visor and a yellow solid paper on the underside of the visor.
- paper covered wire
- white school glue
- cardboard
- masking tape
- Mod Podge
- fun summer papers
- recycled cereal box
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fit the paper wire to your favorite doll's head and twist the ends together to keep it the exact size it needs to be. Paper covered wires are easy to find in grocery stores; these are usually wrapped around lettuce leaf heads.
- Cover this paper wrapped wire with masking tape.
- Draw a small half arc shape on top of light weight cardboard, cut it out and tape it to the paper wire. You may need to reshape the wire on the doll's head as you proceed in order to keep it shaped properly.
- One the visor looks the way you like, see photo, cover it with decorative paper and white school glue.
- Mod Podge the final visor, let dry and position it onto your doll's head to keep the sun out of her eyes!
