How to Make Pincushion Dolls ✿ Part One of Three ✿ Free Tutorial ✿ Pincushion Ladies by Tulip Square

Today is Part One of a three part series, showing you how to make these adorable pincushion ladies! This week we’ll make the head and hands out of polymer clay. Even if you’ve never made a doll head before, Paulette shows you in such a way, that anyone can do it! Give it a try!
All of the supplies you need to complete this project are listed in a downloadable pdf here: tulipsq.com/pin-ladies
Paulette noticed, after the fact, that she drifted off camera a few too many times, so we uploaded another video to supplement this one. Check our Pincushion Dolls playlist to watch her make two more heads, and hopefully catch any details you missed. Sorry about that!
We are still working on the perfect camera views for each work station. Thanks for your patience and understanding! ✿
Thanks for watching!

Such an excellent tutorial-even if sometimes off screen. I still got what you were teaching. Thank you!

Thank you so much! We were still experimenting with cameras and such. We're still learning, honestly, but we're always trying to improve! 😊🌷

You are a great teacher. You voice is reassuring and pleasant. Thank you. Do many times I abandon a channel because of not being able to follow instructions. You are experienced and organized.These king of observing makes for me a pleasant tutorial. I haven't worked very much with polymer clay . This may be the project to get me more interested. Thank you from SC.💙🧓

Thank you for your nice comments. This would be an easy project to give polymer clay a try. The secret to clay work is be sure you condition it really good before starting. It should be nice and soft and pliable, so if you fold it, it bends, not cracks or splits.

I am amazed. I HAVE worked with clay, but don't think I have seen a face built in such a way. I am so pleased I found this video.

[@murlthomas2243]

What a good idea! I think I would try to make them look more like Scandinavian kitchen witches, but I love the idea of a pincushion doll.

[@TulipSquare]

Oh yes! We love kitchen witches!

When you cut the dolls eyes and mouth, I was traumatized 😳 LOL! Just kidding! Great job!

Sure! Some folks have even used Barbie dolls and other vinyl doll parts!
