Easy Ways to Pad the Armature on a Miniature Doll

If you've been following the instructions on Making Miniature Dolls you may be at the point where you need to pad out the armature to create limbs for your doll. Before you do this, try to decide how you will dress your doll. A wrapped armature lends itself to clothes which are glued or sewn in place. If you will be dressing and undressing your doll, you may want to make a fabric body, to cover the batting and protect it from fraying as clothes are added and removed.
