What you need: - Yarn in the desired hair colour. This can be any yarn you like, from sock yarn to DK weight yarn to mohair. It all depends on the size of your doll, and the desired look. For Lina, I used Dream in Color Smooshy. - Tissue paper - Painter’s tape - Sewing thread in (preferably) the colour of the yarn you’re using for the hair - A sewing machine - A CD cover or book to wrap the yarn around How it’s done: Wrap as much yarn as you need to cover the head (from forehead to halfway down the back of the head) around a CD cover or book (depending on the length you’d like the final wig to be). Secure the yarn with painter’s tape on both sides of your CD cover or book. NB: I use painter’s tape instead of sellotape, because it’s less adhesive and thus can be removed more easily later on. Once the yarn has been securely taped together, cut it at the bottom end. NB: you don’t necessarily need to cover all yarn with tissue paper. Crafty Sheep » Waldorf doll resources.

Waldorf Doll Head Directions. Echoes of a Dream: Basic instructions for a waldorf doll. " ......a handcrafted doll is one of a kind, an individual which carries the spirit of the maker in its stitches and absorbs the spirit of the child who loves it". Isn't this a beautiful description of a handmade doll? I've been making waldorf dolls for about six years now and I was very lucky to be shown how by a German lady who was based at the waldorf school in Kings Langley. I started off making dolls for my own children and I in turn have taught other people to make dolls for their childen. In this way the waldorf doll making tradition continues as it has done for most of the last century.
I have no idea why these dolls, which I believe were originally made by Kathe Krusse in Germany were adopted by the Steiner movement. The dolls I make are 16'' tall and made from natural materials. Next off you need to tie the eye, head and chin lines. Place pins where you think the eyes and mouth should be and embroider them. Then sew up the arms and body on the sewing machine.
