Walter & Wendy Dolls

Loved the Doll House project last month? I'd like to introduce Wendy and Walter, the owners of the house!

Every house needs occupants if it is going to be the happy place it deserves to be, and the cheerful doll house (click here for instructions) is no different. Wendy and Walter live here, and love to come out and play. Simply made from felt, and with the same body pattern for both of them, the dolls are quick to make, and you could easily add a few friends for these charming characters, changing the colour of their hair, clothes and skin.

Finished size: 5 x 3in (13 x 7.5cm)
