Cleopatra: The head piece

To complete our Cleopatra look,

we will be showing you how to create the

elegant headpiece she wears!

Let's Get Started!

Materials:

Hot glue gun

Jewelry (Pearls, etc.)

Step 1- We found the strings of pearls at our

local craft store (in the jewelry section)

and our mom gave us her old ring that

she didn't wear anymore.

Step 2- Arrange your pieces

in any way that you want, and hot

glue them into place.

Step 3- Let them dry for a few seconds.

Step 4- Fasten to your doll's head with bobby pins.

Done! We hope you enjoyed!

Cleopatra: The Dress

Today we will be making a Cleopatra dress for your doll!

Let's get started!

Materials:

Fancy fabric (we used an old t-shirt)

Sewing machine/needle and thread

Scissors

A doll (for measurement)

Step 1- Like our witch skirt, you need to measure 

where you want your dress to start. Cut out your material

accordingly.

Step 2- We decided to use the sleeve of the shirt to

create a sleeve for the dress.

Step 3- Sew all of your edges together. You may

need to use a needle and thread for fine tuning.

Step 4- We decided to make a cut off sleeve.

Step 5- Done!

We hope you enjoyed this craft!

The Witch Costume: The Skirt

Hello there crafters! Today, we will be 

showing you how to make the first part in our witch's costume.

This is the skirt! Let's get started!

Materials:

Old Petticoat (or something of that material)

Sewing Machine (or needle and thread)

Safety pin

elastic (if your petticoat didn't have any)

Myfroggystuff's how to make a doll skirt video (for help)

Step 1- Using your doll as a guide, measure a length of the petticoat

that can wrap around your doll (about twice). Cut it out.

Step 2- Using a safety pin, run your elastic through the

casing that was already in your petticoat.

Step 3- Pull the elastic to make a gather.

Step 4- Sew the edges together, making sure it can still

fit your doll.

Step 5- Done! Pair it with dark leggings, and

the first part of your costume is done!
