Face shaping

Eye tightener.
I used the same thread that I knitted with. We insert the needle into the hole, bring it out 1 row above the place where the 6th increase was made in the 22nd row. We make a stitch through 2-3 loops. We bring the needle into the hole. Tighten (not tight). We tie the ends of the thread.

We make a tightening of the second eye. We insert the needle into the hole, bring it out one row above the place where the 7th increase was made in the 22nd row. We make a stitch through 2-3 loops. We bring the needle into the hole. Tighten, tie the ends of the thread.

nose tightening. Nose tightening was done with bobbin thread. You can use dental floss, monofilament - at your discretion. We outline the outline with needles. Upper needles approximately between 17th and 18th rows. The distance between them is 6 loops. The lower ones are between the 26th and 27th rows. Distance - 8 loops. Further on the photo. When tightening the nose after each stitch, we pull the thread a little, we try to “sculpt” the nose ..

textile dolls self made have long been stepping on the heels of their factory girlfriends. Needlewomen put all their skills into their toys, charging textile crafts with energy. Surprisingly, even dolls made according to the same pattern by different craftswomen differ from each other. This makes each model exclusive.

The most difficult thing in creating a textile doll is working with facial features, especially with eyes. The nature of the toy and its mood depend on them. Dolls that look more realistic are becoming more and more popular. Some craftswomen use their artistic talent and draw faces that conquer even those who are completely indifferent to toys.

The needlewomen have already managed to appreciate the collection of unique dolls by Elena Negorozhenko. They look magical. The first thing that attracts attention are large expressive eyes. Each doll of Elena Negorozhenko has its own character, which is conveyed by the painted facial expressions.

How to make a doll face: step by step instructions

Ask how to "sculpt" the doll's face? Not easy, but possible. For our master class you will need:

• Threads. They must be secure so as not to break. Otherwise, if the thread breaks, the doll's face will be distorted and the work will have to be redone.
• A special long needle that can easily go through the blank of the doll's head and not get lost in the stuffing.
• Directly harvesting the doll's head, it is possible from nylon tights.

For one of the ways to make the head of a textile doll, ordinary tights are used, which are filled with stuffing.

1. After the blank from the nylon tights is stuffed, sewn and covered with the main material, marking is done.
2. It is necessary to carefully mark the places where the nostrils will be, as well as the inner and outer corners of the eyes.
3. We thread the needle. It is important to use a new piece of thread for each new operation.
4. We proceed to the crucial moment of the master class. We insert the needle into the left nostril and withdraw it from the inner corner of the right eye.
5. We return in the opposite direction. The distance between the entry and exit points of the thread must be at least 2 mm so that the fabric does not tear.
6. Each time we pull the thread a little, but make sure that it does not break.
7. We repeat the action symmetrically. And we see that a spout appears on our face from tights, stuffing and fabric.
8. This may be enough, especially if you are sewing a baby doll. Children's faces are quite plump and a few manipulations with a needle and thread for expressive facial expressions will be enough.

Do you want to continue the master class? Grab a smaller needle.

• Outline the bridge of the nose. Make sure the lines are symmetrical.
• Start work from above, from the forehead along the intended nose. Drive the needle from right to left and return back, pulling the thread a little.
• You should mark the corners of the lips. With the help of a thread and a long needle, we connect diagonally with the outer corners of the eyes.
• We drag the oval of the face so that the cheeks are formed.

This method is especially convenient when working with dolls from tights, since you can adjust the tension of the thread and correctly form facial features. They will turn out more convex or vice versa.

other methods

Sometimes face tightening is done on a pre-formed relief. Some workshops offer to put separately cheeks, nose, chin, forehead and even lips on the blank of the doll’s head, and then it’s all covered with a stretchy fabric, for example, from pantyhose and pulled over the material.

The tightening, in which the pupa's face is formed from a synthetic winterizer and covered with tights, is called stocking technique or sculptural textiles. So do not rush to throw away nylon stockings. For craftswomen, this is a valuable material that helps turn ordinary pieces of fabric into works of art.

• Be sure to use a pattern. If your doll is exclusive and you come up with a pattern yourself, then think carefully. Draw a diagram. Mark out what the eyes and nose will be. To do this, you need to make pre-markings on paper, and then transfer to the fabric.
• Do the final stuffing of the head and only then proceed to the relief.
• If you are going to make a tightening for the first time, look at a few master classes so as not to spoil the craft.
• Make sure the doll's face is symmetrical. IN real life asymmetry is typical for human faces, but for dolls it will not look very pretty.
• Think carefully about what character to give your textile character. To do this, consider the location, size and shape of the eyes.
• Keep in mind that more expressive characters are obtained from kapron.

With the help of our master class, you will learn the basics of tightening the face of a textile doll. Experience, sincerity and love for their still unfinished products will make them unique.
