I made these mini mannequins when I saw something
similar on Pintrest.
The little beauties below were made by an Italian
lady whose beautiful blog is
I thought I'd use the Tim Holtz/Sizzix die 'Sewing Room'
for the mannequin shape
but found that to be too small compared to a pair of small scissors.
So, I used the Sizzix shape and cut around it to make it a bit larger.
The scissors still dwarfed it though, so I gave up on the idea
of making a scissors keeper manniquin and thought I'd make
a pin cushion mannequin instead.
However, that didn't work because I didn't use enough
wadding and the whole form is quite flat.
So, they are just mini mannequins!
I pinned them to a piece of decorative tape
... but didn't really like them when I hung them from a shelf
above my craft desk.
They are rather cute though and will make nice
little gifts.
I think I've got them out of my system now - or have I!
Thanks for looking :)
