Gather Your Materials
Before getting started, it’s important to gather all the necessary materials. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:
- PVC fabric
- Scissors
- Marker
- Sewing machine
- Thread
- Pattern template
- Filler material (polyester stuffing or foam)
Create the Doll Body
To begin, use the marker and pattern template to trace the outline of the doll’s body onto the PVC fabric. Once done, carefully cut along the traced lines. You should have two identical pieces for the front and back of the doll.
Next, place the front and back pieces together, with the printed sides facing each other. Using the sewing machine, stitch around the edges, leaving a small opening for stuffing.
Stuff and Seal the Doll
Now comes the exciting part – stuffing your doll! Take the polyester stuffing or foam and carefully insert it through the opening you left while sewing. Make sure to evenly distribute the stuffing, paying attention to the doll’s head, limbs, and body.
Once your doll is adequately filled, seal the opening with a strong stitch using the sewing machine. This will ensure that the stuffing remains secure within the doll.
Add Details and Accessories
To give your inflatable doll some character, you can add various details and accessories. Use the marker to draw facial features like eyes, nose, and mouth on the doll’s face. You can also get creative by dressing up your doll with fabric or accessories like hats, bows, or jewelry. Let your imagination run wild!
