Kathleenmom posted these adorable dolls has anyone made them this year? I am getting so frustrated when I go to the craft store to find what I need for this project. The ball/knobs that look like they would fit on the clothes pins are huge! Is that how they are suppose to be?

I am beginning to compare my trips to the craft store to dh trips to the hardware store when he is working on a project

.

I may just order all the parts online. I missed out on the kits for sale at the Posie is Cozy blog. They are so cute! I am having friends over on Santa Lucia and want to make them with them...so I am feeling desperate. ( I might have made my coffee a little strong this morning also)

Mary Chris,

I'm sorry!!

Just FYI -- I buy my clothespin dolls in a kit at AC Moore (by nicolecrafts.com -- they don't sell them online) FYI though, My sil just went to the Manassas AC Moore and they were sold out of the kits that I get there, though.

Michael's does carry a kit with two options for heads - and one of them is too big. The people look like they have super heads.

I found this. It doesn't help my doll situation but it looks fun!

You can buy wooden dolls that are about 3 inches tall. They only have a head and body. They might work.
