Make a flower doll using silk flowers, ribbon and tulle
These dolls are 5" baby dolls

Pick a flower you want to use and separate the petals
Glue edge of petals to the inside of ribbon to make a skirt and let dry
Cut a 6" x 2 yard strip of tulle and fold in half . Wrap body to make underclothes and tie off
cut a 6" x 1 yard strip of tulle. Fold in half length wise and sew a gather stitch down middle,
gather tight to make a under skirt, place on doll and sew in back of skirt
