Previously they made dolls from straw, corn, corn leaves or other materials from nature. It was sometimes decorated with details (hats, bags, flowers, twigs) or sometimes braided. A very creative and inexpensive way to make dolls to play with, or they made scarecrows for the land.

The principle was (and is) very simple, just as I show below. You made them, on your own, in no time. It is useful if you have someone with youa finger on the buttonso you can pull the buttons tight. (Thanks for borrowing your finger, Suus!)

Supplies:Cardboard of size postcard (I stuck 3 postcards together so I had a sturdy cardboard), a small ball of wool (no idea how much I used, but not much), scissors, wiggle eyes and glue.
