Stuffing a Rag Doll Body

Video Transcript

"Ok, now we are ready to stuff our baby doll. I, we call these our doll guts the kids and I actually picked the material that I thought was hideous but still seemed like it needed to have some purpose so we went out in the drive why and ripped a bunch up you want to work it all in there I like using the rags because it adds a lot more weight to the doll seams to give it some more caricature. You want to make sure you get the head real good first before you get the body to far. Luckily your arms and legs are already stuffed so you don't have to worry about trying to get then while they are attached to the body. Make sure that you fill out the cheeks so they don't have a triangle head. This is good job for kids to help with to they love to stuff these. So were just going to stuff it good in to the bottom of the cheek because that?s one area that if you don't try to get it in there it seems to tend to fall back in and you have got to be careful when you stuffing it not to rip out any seams you get in to aggressive getting it in there because then you have to back track again and nobody wants to do that. Unfortunately but now mine are all tangled but it in some ways that works good because you can just wad it up around to the bigger part of the body kind of through around until I get to an end and these you can stuff then real tight if you want or sometimes we stuff them not so tight if kind of makes a different kind of doll and that?s how you stuff it and once its all stuffed we will be ready to put the legs on."
