Jingle Shaker Doll - The Crafty Librarian

This little doll is easily made and the kids really enjoy the jingling noise it makes. There is fairly extensive preparation time on this one, and quick crafting time.

Materials:
Strips of felt or other soft cloth about an inch to and inch and a half wide and about 6 to 8 inches long. The strips can be various sizes and lengths. You will want a fairly wide one for the face. Each child will need 50 strips of cloth.
Dowel. I used very short pieces, but larger ones would be nicer.
Rubber Bands: Each child will need 2 strong rubber bands.
Google eyes
String
Jingle Bells. I used 1/2 inch bells, but they are a bit large and I would recommend smaller ones. 2 or more per child.

Time: Preparation time depends on how many strips of cloth you have to cut. The more strips in the doll, the better it will look. Crafting time: 15 minutes.

Method: 1) Gather a hand full of strips and bind them with the rubber band near the end.
2) Bind the strips again, about an inch and a half from the first binding. This forms the head.
3) Insert the dowel into the doll. The bindings should be tight enough to hold the dowel in place.

5) Enjoy!
