Christmas Gift Ideas - Dammit Dolls

I made these for co-workers a few times and each time they were a big hit. Although I’ve modified the designs to make them my own, I have to give credit where credit is due: www.craftbits.com for the original dammit doll idea and poem as well as Annasari on YouTube for the box. Part of the fun of this craft is there are so many variations. For example, you could make dolls with "hair" (maybe yarn, ribbon or wire?), you could use beads for the eyes (give it a painful grimace or some other facial expression), you could use waste-canvas and sew a small cross-stitched design representing something about the person you are giving it to--sort of like a Care Bear if you will (I did one with a dollar sign on the belly for a bookkeeper). You are only limited by your imagination. I've included a pdf with measurements as well as a template for the doll and booklet. Be sure to watch my YouTube video for a complete tutorial.
