You will need:

white paper,
scissors,
felt-tip pens.

Now let's get to work:

On white paper, folded in half horizontally, draw half of the figure of the doll. Try to keep the necessary proportions of a person. If you do not succeed, do not get upset: you can imagine that this is a character from popular cartoons for children, where the characters have not quite proportional body parts.
When you cut and unfold it, you will get a whole figure.
Paint the doll - the front view with the face and panties.
Use the cut out base as a template: trace the outline on paper and cut out the doll. Paint the back view with hair and panties.
If you drew the doll with felt-tip pens on glossy paper, let the workpiece dry a little, or or The picture can be smudged.
The halves should be carefully glued together.
Pieces of dolls, attach them to a sheet of paper and trace its thin lines with a simple pencil. If you do a whole closet for the doll, trace it several times.
Now, the resulting contours can draw any style of clothing for different seasons.
Each piece dorischete flaps on the shoulders, forearms, waist, thighs, shins. Clothing should be firmly attached to the doll figure.
Color and decorate dresses and costumes. Cut them out and dress up the doll.
Use an awl to poke holes in the doll's head above the face.
From the individual strands of yarn, gather the hair of the desired length: boys short, girls long.
Tie them in the middle with the same thread.
Tie them to the head at the top and sides.

It is better to cut clothes for such dolls from paper. It will be more firmly held with the flaps. You can also make these dolls with hair from yarn of different colors.

A narrow ribbon;
a simple pencil;
felt-tip pens;
glue stick;
awl;
kapron thread;
scissors;
polymer cord;
instant glue or glue gun.

First, we will prepare the cardboard parts. The color of the cardboard will depend on the type of animal and your imagination: bunny — gray or blue, a bear cub — brown, a kitten — The brown bunny, the brown bear cub, the kitten in white, black or gray, etc.
On the back side of the colored cardboard with a simple pencil draw the body of the animal in the form of an oval (you choose the size).
Draw a circle to it — A head with triangular ears for a cat and semicircular ears for a bear. — for a bear, with long — for a bunny, etc.
In proportion to the torso we draw four small ovals — These will be their back and front legs.
All cut out. Carefully pierce with an awl or the sharp end of scissors holes for fasteners at the top of the legs, as well as in the appropriate parts of the torso, where we will mount the legs. The diameter of the holes will depend on the type of fasteners.
On the feet just above these holes we will puncture small holes to bind them with string.
To fix the legs, you need to cut 4 pieces of white polymeric cord of such length at which you can tie knots on it on both sides.
Connect the cord torso with paws. Tie knots on the front of the toy.
Next tie the legs in two (separately upper and lower) with kapron thread through small holes. If the thread is stretched — Feet hang down.
A long thread with which we will pull our toy, for strength, folded in half, tied to The middle of the two threads connecting the legs.
The edges of the polymer cord on the underside of the toy are tied in knots. The ends of the knots can be melted with a lighter or burning match. Check the freedom of rotation of the paws.
To have the legs and arms of the toy to move you can attach them with buttons, wires, etc.
Then cut out two cardboard circles 2.5 cm in diameter. Between them we glue the end of the thread. It is convenient and aesthetic to attach a large bead.
Narrow ribbon in the form of loops glued to the top of the head from the wrong side with a cardboard circle of small diameter.
Draw a muzzle and paws with felt-tip pens. Or decorate them separately drawn and cut out parts by gluing them to the base.

Twitch made of cardboard is ready!

Finish the skirt on 3 sides with a finishing stitch, assemble it on the fourth side, and sew the belt to it. Attach a velcro fastener around the edges of the finished skirt Velcro the edges of the finished skirt ..
