Step 5: Carefully remove the tulle from the pom pom maker and use your finger as a place holder inside the center.
Step 6: Insert the clothespin into the hole where your finger was.
Step 7: Tighten the first knot and then double knot to secure to the doll.
Step 8: Adjust the tulle on your DIY Hocus Pocus Clothespin Dolls to your liking and hot glue the underside to keep it in place.
Step 9: Trim any excess tulle with scissors.
Step 10: Create the hair by hot-gluing shaped card stock to the top of the head.
Step 11: Wrap the cardstock piece with the appropriate color yarn. Using hot glue to secure along the way.
Step 12: Use the marker to add eyes and a mouth to you DIY Hocus Pocus Clothespin Dolls.
