Handtowel/Pillowcase Scripture Doll

Make this doll so the girls can store their scriptures in the center of the doll and place on their pillows as a reminder to read the scriptures each day.

an old white bath towel or hand towel
string
a white pillowcase
11" (28 cm) piece of gathered lace or fabric
ribbon

1. Fold the towel in half lengthwise and roll it into a body shape. Use the string to tie off one end 3" (8cm) down from the folded top to form a head.

2. Put the doll inside the pillowcase, center the top of the head in the seam at the end of the pillowcase, gather the pillowcase around the neck of the doll, and tie it with string.

3. Arrange the piece f lace around the face of the doll, then tie a length of ribbon around the neck, making sure that the lace is tucked underneath the ribbon to hold it in place; then make a bow.

4. To make arms, gather each side at the top of the pillowcase and tie with string at the shoulders. To make the hands, pinch the material at the corners and secure it with tied ribbon bows.
