Flexible dolls made out of cork

Dear visitors, I got a special idea for a money gift in a wine store! It is easy to make and everyone is able to replicate it.

You need a few corks, a wooden pearl or a little bullet out of cotton (diameter approximately 20 mm), a few toothpicks or little sticks of wood, little hands and feet cut out of cardboard and enough glue, of course.

Build the legs by cutting or piercing little holes into one end of the corks and sticking the toothpicks or wooden sticks into them. You have to do the same with the upper part of the cork to make the arms of the doll. The head is the pearl on which you can paint a face and, if you have some, glue some hair or a hat to the top. Fix the pearl to the top of the cork with a piece of toothpick or just glue it to the top. Your little flexible doll will have some coins or bills in its hands which can be fixed with some wire or glue. If you have two dolls you can attach them to a beer mat like I saw it in the wine store.

No matter how you present your doll(s), you are sure to have a cute and creative money gift!
