1) To make the template, draw a line using a ruler and pencil near the side of a piece of paper.


2) Make 2 markings of about 2 cm apart on first line, leave some space to draw the wing around later on.

3) Draw a line approximately 1.5 cm perpendicular to the first line, originating from the lower marking.

4) Draw a line approximately 1.3 cm perpendicular to the top marking of the first line.

5) Join the ends of the 2 shorter lines, you can draw dashes to represent a fold line later on.

6) Draw a line about 1 cm long with 2 shorter strokes at the end to represent the “slits” to be made.

7) Draw shape of the wing you would like to create for your doll(s) It can be any other shapes you can think of :) Let your imagination run wild!

8) Now you have your very own paper template! It will be even more special, if you have created it using your own ideas ;)

9) Cut out the wing template and continue from step 3 of the previous tutorial!

Make some for your own dolls, or as a present for your friends’ dolls! :D
Have a great Halloween!

Hopefully this pictorial tutorial will allow you to make a little something for you and your dolls’ enjoyment!

This template will fit blythes, Lati yellow and dolls with similar shoulder size and height.

1) Save this template onto your computer, and print it out using a picture editing program.


 

 

3) Have a selection of card stock or vanguard sheet ready, regular paper may be a little too soft for this purpose. I am using a plain card stock for easier demonstration.
I am also using a selection of 3mm satin ribbon, but you can use any type of decorative ribbons as well.

4) Fold the card of choice and position the template on the fold of paper where it is marked.

5) If you’re impatient like me or have a steady hand, you can carefully cut around the template while holding it in position, or if you do not feel so confident, trace with a pencil the shape of the “wing” then cut it. Erase the pencil marks later on.

6) Using a pen knife or exacto knife, carefully cut the through the template and card along the numerical order and direction of the numbered red arrows as seen on the picture below; to make slits for the ribbon. Remember to use a cutting mat or something thick to protect your work table!

7) After the slits are made, thread the ribbon (around 35-40cm long, trim the excess later if neccessary) through the holes. The 2nd picture shows the ribbon positioning better.

   

After adjusting the ribbon, it will look like this.

When worn on a Lati yellow, it will look like this at the back.
