ELLIE EGGER

Personal Use Only ~ Copyright 2001 |

This adorable 'Granny' is attired in a black floral jumper and faux knitted
sweater. She has black stockings and a BIG attitude. Ellie also has a new
'granny' hair do. She is an avid 'Egger - creator of decorative eggs' and we will be
giving the directions for making some beautiful pieces, right in time for the oncoming
Easter season. Ellie also comes with her own wooden tiny egg for you to decorate in
the kit. |

~Ellie Egger~
Greetings! And welcome to our newest FF kit, tailor made
for those crafty ladies!
Ellie is posed with her 'Egg' that she makes, though this doll
kit can be easily customized into knitting granny, rubber stamping
granny, quilting
granny (you get the picture).
Since she is a character doll, Ellie is an excellent beginner
project - with very few steps and (in our kit) nicely glueable materials. |

| Step 1. Add a tiny roll of fimo (optional) around top of shoe
to make more of a comfy boot for grandma. Then wrap droopy stockings from old hose
around top of feet, making both ends meet in back and you won't be able to see it
when she's sitting. Paint shoes and add decoration if desired. |
Step 2. Make mock scoop T shirt for under sweater -- out of
same material as sweater. Turn neck edges under and glue on doll. If making from
kit, be sure to keep the vertical lines of the knit straight. This makes for a rich
looking twin set. |

| Step 3. Cut skirt out of printed material. Glue into a tube,
gather top and slide up to around waist. This skirt should be slim fitting.
Cut out bib pattern (and then from printed material) and glue on. Add tiny matching
shoulder straps. Remember this is a CHARACTER doll -- give her a fun personality! |
Step 4. Cut out sweater from knit. Sew seam from hem to
wrist. Glue under front edges and around neck (to make finished edge).
Position doll as desired (we attached ours to a chair filled with egg making goodies). |

Step 5. Take pre-pleated hair, and following basic wigging
directions, lay pleated hair across head, and twist around in back to form nice bun.
We glued on a few strands to make it look 'crafty busy -- i.e. messy) in front.
|
Step 6. Twist gold wire around two pins for glasses, and glue
on black thread for hangers. Add accessories as desired. |
|
|
Now to make those wonderful Easter Eggs, I simply took
a wooden egg, painted a layer of fingernail polish on (one of those garish teenager
colors), then while THAT was drying, sprinkled on extra fine glitter
After all was dried, glue on jewelry findings, beads or rhinestones as
desired.
Happy Creating! |
