Make your own Gothic Halloween Doll

Doll crafting has never been so easy, quick and fun! Follow this Halloween tutorial and find out how to make this Halloween Gothic doll in no time! You can use her as a decoration on your porch for Halloween or use her for Halloween Party Decorations.

Supplies:
1. Cotton fabric
2. Felt – black
3. Scissors
4. Hotglue gun
5. Yarn thread – black
6. Fabric paint, gel pen, pencil.
7. Stuffing

Step-1: This is the pattern I’m using for my Gothic doll, you can search online for more patterns.

Step-2: I used gel pen to trace the face details and other details. Used fabric paint to fill a few parts such as eye lids, lips. Used pencil to create shades on the eyelids and under the eyes.

Once you’re done drawing the face details cut out the doll pattern from the fabric but make sure to keep 1 or 2 cm extra around the sides. Place the fabric on a black felt. Fold the extra fabrics around the sides bit by bit and use hot glue to attach the sides with the black felt. Keep the bottom part open to stuff the doll.

Step-4: Insert wool or scrap fabric through the open end on the bottom side. After you’re done filling the doll use hotglue gun to close the open end to secure the stuffing.

Step-5: Use a scissor to trim the sides of the black fabric and make it even with the doll pattern.

Step-6: Cut out a few pieces of black yarns and a piece of black felt for the hair. You can go for any style you want for the hair, just make sure to keep it Gothic. Simply use hotglue to attach the hair with the doll.

Done!

I’ve long had a soft spot for puffins, so of course when I found an Etsy shop called Murder Puffin I had to share it.

And I’m so glad I found it because they’ve got some weird stuff that I hope you’re going to like as much as I do.

There are cryptids and true crime, nautical themed designs, holiday wanted posters and an entire section called memento mori. So if that sounds like something you’d be into, read on.

The biggest section on the site, though, is Altoid tin cross stitch patterns. If you can’t quite imagine what an Altoid tin cross stitch pattern would be like, this mummy cross stitch tin is a pretty representative example.

Most of them have a character (in this case, the mummy, but it could be anything from an alien to a racoon to a gnome) or more than one, who is made into a tiny stuffed doll. There’s a design for the top and bottom inside of the tin; here it’s a pyramid and an anhk design. There’s also a small design for the top of the box. And finally, a kind of blanket and a pillow so you can tuck your little character into the box.

Each one is a cute little set that would be so fun to display (and play with!) on your desk or bookshelf. And there’s a great range of options to choose from.

In addition to those, you’ll find a lot of other fun stuff for the strange and unusual on your gift list. There are some delightfully creepy (and mostly cryptid-inspired) tarot cards. A whole set of dark samplers called Gothic murder family. And a section called potted cross stitch, with little designs like mushrooms, plants and pumpkins you can stitch up and “plant” in tiny pots.

There’s so much fun stuff you really just need to stop reading this and go visit Murder Puffin on Etsy. I hope you find it as delightful as I do!
