Greetings! And
MERRY CHRISTMAS!! This issue is my 'creative' Christmas card for you, my
wonderful friends and 'miniature family'.
Holly Ho-Ho can be created for use anytime of the year. She has that versatile,
contemporary look that goes just about anywhere. Her kit does come with bulb lights,
but it is your choice whether to use them or not!
One last note is the wonderful flowers pictured to the right, they were created by Anja. |

Step 3. Pleat slip, skirt, form tube, gather top and sew on below
doll's wais |

Step 4. Fold under
front sides of sleeveless bodice. Put line of glue around neck opening, slide over
head, attach back. Let Dry. Then wrap front sides around to side seams, and
glue flat. Make sure you have a nice tight fit to give her that shape |

Step 5. Gather a tiny bit of lace for jabbot at bodice. Cut out
two sleeves, turn right sides together, sew side seam. Turn right side out, slide up

Step 6. Create Holly's
jewelry. Make a jig out of pins and cork board. Wrap thin wire around
pins. Repeat 3x total. Glue on rhinestones, beads, pearls as desired.
Leave enough of the wire ends on two designs for dangle earring. Glue finished
pieces on Holly |

| Step 7. Wigging.
Make basic hairline. Then take size 15
knitting needles and make about 4 sausage type curls. Gently cut in half
horizontally. Pick out sections with a tweezers and glue to simulate 'Snob Bob'
style. When glue is dry, gently pick with corsage pin to smooth together curls. |
