Abbreviations:

Heads (Raggedy, Snowman & Ginger)
NOTE: All the heads are sewn together the same way. Please follow the instructions below & then continue
on to each ornie for the finishing touches.
Trace the Raggedy on DL muslin, the snowman on DL cream WF & the Ginger on DL medium tea stained muslin. Sew on
traced lines around the entire head. Trim a scant 1/4" away from stitched line. Slit the back layer of fabric open where
indicated on each PP. Turn RSO. Stuff the heads firmly. Using thread to match each head, neatly close the opening in
the back with a ladder stitch. See directions below on how to create a ladder stitch closure:
At the opening, turn the top & bottom edges under 1/8" so that you will be stitching on the folds. This will prevent
any fraying. Tie knot & insert needle in the opening coming out about 1/8" from the bottom corner edge.
Insert needle directly above your thread on the bottom corner edge. Take a small stitch on the top folded edge
then bring needle down to the bottom folded edge & take another stitch. Make sure the stitches are the same
length & that you keep the threads vertically straight. When the thread is pulled tight the stitches should be very
hard to see...almost invisible. Repeat until you reach the opposite corner. Tie off & hide thread tails.
COFFEE STAIN: Combine in a spray bottle 1 cup water with 1/8 cup instant coffee granules. Swirl the bottle until the
coffee granules dissolve. Spray the heads with the coffee stain then toss in the clothes dryer to dry. This will shrink the
fabric to create very smooth seams. The heads will also appear much rounder & fuller.

Raggedy Ornie
See the RAGGEDY PP for location of the eyes, nose, eyelashes & eyebrows. You can transfer these lines onto the face
with a disappearing marking pen if you like.
Begin by
bringing
needle out
here
follow
traced
outline
NOSE: thread a doll making needle with 6 strand red
embroidery floss (DMC 221). Insert needle at the top of her
head, leaving a 1 1/2" thread tail (this will blend in with the
rest of the hair). Bring needle out at the top left corner of
the nose. Satin stitch down the nose using the traced lines as
your guide. (See diagram to the left). Once you’ve
completed your last stitch, bring needle back out next to
your beginning thread tail, do not tie off, just trim even with
the other 1 1/2" thread tail.
End by inserting needle
here & coming out near
beginning thread tail
EYES, EYEBROWS & LASHES: Thread a basting needle with black sewing thread. Insert needle in the back of her head,
near the bottom edge. Leave a tail for tying off (this will be covered by her scarf). Bring needle up where you will
attach the first 1/4" button eye. Stitch in place. Bring needle up where the second 1/4" button eye will be attached.
Stitch in place. Finish stitching her eyelashes & eyebrows then bring needle back out next to your beginning thread
tail, tie off & trim ends. Apply powder blush to her cheeks using a stencil brush.
HAIR: Mark the hair locations on the doll’s head with a disappearing marker, see RAGGEDY PP. Thread a needle with 4
pieces of 6 strand embroidery floss (DMC 221). Attach hair as described below:

SCARF:
Cut a 1 1/4" strip from blue WF. Wrap
around her face, just below her nose. Trim
ends to the length you desire. Cut (4) 1"
snips on each of the scarf ends to make the
fringes. With upholstery thread, gather the
scarf snug up against her face. Tie off but
do not trim thread tails. Spot glue the rest
of the scarf to her face.
Slip the shank of
your 1 1/4" button
over one of the
thread tails. Tie
knot with the
other thread tail &
trim ends.
Snowman / Ginger Ornies
CHEEKS & ICING LINES:
Apply powder blush (color of your choice) to the cheeks using a stencil brush. For the ginger you will want to paint the
squiggly line around the perimeter of the head before you start stitching any of the facial features. I used a small
round brush & antique white acrylic paint. You may use the GINGER PP as a guide.
NOSE:
• Snowman: Cut from SL burnt orange WF using the PP provided. Place the nose on the face (see SNOWMAN PP for
placement). Thread a basting needle with thread to match the nose. Insert needle at the top of the head. Leave a
tail for tying off (tails will be hidden by the bow). Bring needle out as close to the edge of the felt nose as
possible. Use a tiny blind stitch to attach the nose. Once you’ve completed your last stitch, bring needle back out
near your beginning thread tail. Tie off & trim ends.
• Ginger: Thread a basting needle with thread to match your ginger. Insert needle at the top of the head. Leave a
tail for tying off (tails will be hidden by the bow). Bring needle out where the 5/16" rusty bead nose will be
attached (see the GINGER PP for placement). Stitch in place & bring needle back out near your beginning thread
tail. Tie off & trim ends.

Snowman / Ginger Ornies (continued…)
EYES:
See the SNOWMAN & GINGER PPs for location of their eyes. You can transfer these locations onto the faces with a
disappearing marking pen if you like. Thread a doll making needle with black thread. Insert needle at the top of the
head. Leave a tail for tying off.
NOTE: For the snowman you will use 1/4" rusty tin jingle bells.
For the ginger you will use 1/4" black buttons.
Bring needle out where the first eye will be attached. Stitch in place. Bring needle out where the second eye will be
attached. Stitch in place. Finish stitching the eyebrows (on the Ginger) then bring the needle out next to your
beginning thread tail. Tie off & trim ends.
MOUTH:
• Snowman: Thread a doll making needle with 6 strand black-brown embroidery floss (DMC 3371). Stitch a series of
French knots using the PP as your guide. You will want to leave a beginning & ending thread tail at the top of the
head (tails will be hidden by the bow). Tie thread tails together & trim.
• Ginger: Thread a basting needle 1 strand of ecru embroidery floss. Insert needle at the top of the head, leaving a
thread tail for tying off (tails will be hidden by the bow). Start by stitching a French knot at corner of the mouth
(see PP for placement). Continue with a running stitch until you reach the other corner of the mouth, finish off
with another French knot. Bring needle out near the beginning thread tail. Tie off & trim ends.
Finishing for all Ornies
JUTE HANGERS:
Cut an 11" piece of jute. Fold in half & knot the ends to create a 4" loop. Make a loop for each ornie.
• Raggedy: Take one of the loops & stitch the knot to the BACK of Raggedy’s head, see PP for location.
• Snowman/Ginger: Rip a 3/4" strip for the snowman & 1 1/4" strip for the ginger from homespun.
Place the homespun strip on top of the head, slightly
behind the seam. Anchor in place with several stitches.
Pull thread tails tight, gathering the center of the
homespun strip. Tie off & trim ends. Place the jute loop
on top of the homespun strip, directly over the anchoring
stitches. Make sure the knot is pointing to the backside
of the head & hanging OFF the homespun strip.
Tie a half knot over the jute loop with the 2
homespun ends. Flip the jute loop up over the half
knot bringing the loop to the backside of the head.
Tie a bow with the homespun ends in front of jute
loop. When you are done, the bow should be in the
front & the loop in the back of the head.

SNOW:
Using Elmer’s CRAFT BOND Spray Adhesive, LIGHTLY spray your ornies. For the Raggedy, you’ll want to make sure her
hair is EXACTLY the way you want it, once it has been sprayed its pretty much going to stay that way.
Note: Use the spray adhesive VERY SPARINGLY. It is VERY tacky & the snow is so light that you do not
need a heavy coat for it to stick. If you happen to spray more on than needed, your ornie could remain
tacky for days. But don’t worry, it’s not ruined, it will eventually dry.
Lightly sprinkle the craft snow on each ornie. Set aside to dry.
