Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

We are going to make the traditional Kondapalli doll using the materials that are redundant along with Fevicryl Mouldit.
For the base stand of the doll, we will need an empty water bottle.

Step 2

Roll it to make a thin slab with a rolling pin.

Step 3

Similarly, we will need two pencils for the legs of the doll, a plastic / tissue glass for the ghagra (garment) with a half-cut tennis ball for sticking it to the base of the glass an empty 3D Outliner Glitter Bottle for the upper body of the doll, small tennis ball for the head of the doll.

Step 4

Take the Mouldit slab to cover the pencils, to make the two legs, foot, and ankle jewellery. Cover the bottom side base of the glass to form the ghagra with decorative details using clay carving tools.
Cover the glitter bottle with the dough to make the upper body and carve the jewellery. Cover the tennis ball to make the face with facial details, crown for the head with clay carving tools using Fabric Glue for sticking.
Make sure that you put a U clip (pin, paper clip) with the bend in the center of each clip, further for the movement of each body part of the doll.
