Crafting has always been a therapeutic and enjoyable activity, allowing us to unleash our creativity and produce unique pieces. In this blog post, we'll explore a delightful craft idea: making towel or napkin dolls infused with the invigorating scent of your favorite soap. These charming dolls not only make lovely decorative items but also emanate a subtle fragrance that will enliven any space. So, let's dive in and learn how to create these scented wonders!

Materials Needed:

A hand towel or large napkin

Needle and thread

Scissors

Essential oil or soap fragrance

A small spray bottle

Ribbons, buttons, or other decorative items (optional)

Step 1: Choose the Perfect Towel or Napkin

Begin by selecting a hand towel or a large napkin that will serve as the body of your doll. Consider using a towel or napkin in a color that complements your chosen soap fragrance, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the doll.

Step 2: Folding the Towel/Napkin

Lay the towel or napkin flat on a clean surface. Fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle. Then, fold the triangle once again, bringing the pointed end closer to the wider end, creating a smaller triangle.

Step 3: Rolling the Towel/Napkin

Starting from the wide end of the triangle, roll the towel or napkin tightly towards the pointed end. This roll will serve as the doll's body.

Step 4: Securing the Roll

Using a needle and thread, sew through the rolled towel or napkin near the pointed end to keep it in place. Make a few stitches to ensure that the roll remains secure. You can tie a knot at the end or sew the thread back into the roll to conceal it.

Step 5: Creating the Head

Gently bend the top part of the rolled towel or napkin backward to create the head of the doll. Use a small amount of stuffing or an additional piece of rolled fabric to give the head a rounder shape if desired. Secure the bent portion with a few stitches to hold it in place.

Step 6: Adding Fragrance

In a small spray bottle, mix a few drops of your favorite essential oil or soap fragrance with water. Shake well to combine. Lightly mist the towel or napkin doll with the scented spray, ensuring an even distribution of fragrance. Allow it to dry completely.

Step 7: Personalize Your Doll (Optional)

Now comes the fun part—adding personal touches to make your towel or napkin doll unique. Use ribbons, buttons, or any decorative items you have on hand to create clothing, hair, or facial features. Let your imagination guide you as you bring your doll to life!

Step 8: Display and Enjoy

Place your scented towel or napkin doll on a shelf, table, or in any space where it can be admired and enjoyed. As the fragrance gently diffuses, it will create a delightful ambiance and evoke a sense of calm and relaxation.

Crafting towel or napkin dolls infused with the scent of your favorite soap is an enjoyable and creative way to add a touch of elegance and fragrance to your living space. These scented dolls not only serve as lovely decorative pieces but also contribute to a soothing atmosphere. So, grab your supplies, unleash your creativity, and embark on this scented crafting adventure!
