Dorothy From The Wizard of Oz Crafts

Dorothy is one of the most recognized film characters in the world.

Dorothy Gale is an iconic part of cinema. For over 70 years, people all over the world have sung her songs and watched her travel through the land of Oz. Dorothy is a beloved character for both the young and old. Creating your own Dorothy crafts such as ornaments or dolls is an alternative to buying memorabilia that will add individuality to your Wizard of Oz collection.

Ornaments

You can make Dorothy ornaments for a Wizard of Oz-themed Christmas tree or to spruce up your regular Christmas tree. Clothespin ornaments are inexpensive and simple to make. You can find all of the supplies needed to make these ornaments at most retail stores. For more intricate ornaments, you can fashion ornaments out of porcelain or dough. These ornaments are not limited to Christmastime. You can hang the ornaments as decorations in Wizard of Oz-themed bedrooms or add them to a movie-themed room.

Dolls

Dorothy dolls can be created out of simple materials such as a toilet paper roll. This craft is especially easy for children to do. You can choose to use a printable template that your child colors in and glues to the toilet paper roll, or you and your child can draw and color your own. A Dorothy rag doll is another type of doll that may take some expertise to make. Generic rag doll patterns can be used to create a Dorothy doll and then you can add all of Dorothy's features such as her braids and gingham dress.
