Make sure the edges meet.Use tape to secure the cylinder.
Step 4: Attach a Styrofoam ball or ping-pong ball to the top of the tube with hot glue.
Modelling clay or a small box can be used for the head.

The flaps should be folded into the tube.Attach the ball to the flaps.Allow the glue to set.
Step 6: Determine the theme of your doll so that you can decorate and dress it properly.
Let the head dry before painting it.Use markers or paint to draw in the facial features.Glue on yarn or felt scraps to make hair.
