DIY Adorable Soap and Towel Scented Dolls: A No-Sew Guide

Soap and towel scented dolls are not only cute additions to your home decor, but they also serve practical purposes such as freshening up your drawers, cabinets, and bathrooms. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the process of making these delightful dolls without the need for a sewing machine. By leaving the bottom part open, you can easily replace the soap when its scent fades away and even wash the doll to prolong its use. Let's get started!

Materials Needed:

Dove soap (or your preferred soap)

30x30 towel

Thick wool rope

Cotton festoon

Ribbon

Fiber

Hot silicone

Crayons

Acrylic fabric paint

Sewing floss

Rouge

Step 1: Preparing the Doll's Body

Take the 30x30 towel and lay it flat on a clean surface.

Fold the towel in half diagonally to form a triangle.

Starting from the long side of the triangle, begin rolling the towel tightly until you reach the pointed end.

Secure the rolled towel by tying a piece of sewing floss around it, about two inches from the pointed end. This will form the doll's head.

Step 2: Creating the Doll's Face

Unwrap the Dove soap or your preferred soap and remove any packaging.

Use a crayon or acrylic fabric paint to draw the doll's facial features on the soap. Get creative and make different expressions!

Allow the crayon markings or paint to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 3: Attaching the Head and Arms

Take the thick wool rope and cut two equal lengths, approximately 10-12 inches each.

Insert one end of a rope into the doll's head, leaving a small portion sticking out to form the arm.

Repeat the previous step for the other arm, ensuring both arms are symmetrical.

Adjust the arm lengths as desired and secure them in place by tying a knot at the bottom of each arm.

Step 4: Decorating the Doll

Use the hot silicone to attach the cotton festoon around the base of the doll's head, covering the tied floss and creating a decorative collar.

Tie a ribbon around the neck area, covering the floss and adding a charming touch.

Apply small dots of hot silicone to the doll's face and sprinkle fiber over them to create hair. Experiment with different colors and lengths of fiber to achieve various styles.

Step 5: Scenting the Doll

Apply a small amount of hot silicone to the back of the soap doll.

Carefully attach the soap to the center of the doll's body, ensuring it is securely in place.

If desired, you can dust a small amount of rouge on the doll's cheeks to add a touch of color and enhance its cuteness.

Congratulations! You've successfully crafted adorable soap and towel scented dolls without the need for a sewing machine. These charming creations can be used as delightful additions to your home or as quick and thoughtful gifts. By leaving the bottom open, you have the flexibility to replace the soap when its scent diminishes over time and even wash the doll for extended use. Get creative with different colors, facial expressions, and hairstyles to make each doll unique. Enjoy the process and have fun making these delightful scented dolls!
