Tying the Doll Head (Part 3 of the Bunt-Doll Tutorial)

You will need:
-Strong but thin string (I recommend left-over pieces of embroidery string, at least three strands thick)
-Needle and sewing thread 
-Doll-head (see Part 2 of the bunt-doll tutorial)
-A sewing-pin 

Take a strong piece of string a tie it across the top of the head. Make the knot halfway up one side of the head, leaving plenty of string left over on the ends. 



Put a pin below the chin to stop the string from sliding up.


Sew the knot tightly to the head (still about halfway up the head) using a double-threaded needle. Leave your thread attached. 



Take one of the ends of the pink string and your needle thread and bring them across the head to the other side. 



Hold the end of the pink string in place as you fasten it securely with your needle and thread. Trim ends, and you're done!



For instructions on how to cover the head with cloth see Part 4 of the bunt-doll tutorial. (coming soon!)
