Print the parts of the pattern you like and expand/contract to the sizes you need. Using the pattern cut out the felt. I had some leftover felt from when I made my owlements. My friend is a big Alabama fan so her doll is in red and white. I cut the faces and the holes in the hair wrap the same size with my cuttlebug, next time I will cut the face part larger so it sits better behind the hair portion.
For the blessing packet that goes in each doll I gathered herbs relevant to what I wished for each person. Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs was my resource. I pulled a rune thinking of each person and re-created that rune with felt. I then surfed the wonderful Internet for blessing poems, I can't write poetry so I had to go surfing. Printed each poem real smalled and rolled them into little scrolls. The blessing items were placed in scrap of silk and sewn into a pouch.
I then added the decorations to the dolls with fabric paint and iron on flowers. My sewing skills aren't all that great but you can add embroidered embellishments if you are more accomplished in that area. You can also sew runes or other symbols on the dolls if you so desire.
Once they are ready sew the backs on, stuff with fiberfill, add the blessing pouch while praying to your deity. And they are now ready to be gifted. One happy littly doll family.
