Description:

If you have ever wondered what a Dotee is this is the swap for you.

Dotees are a free form shape made of fabric (usually novelty cotton but not limited to cotton) with no limbs.

With a string of beads or a ribbon looped for a Hanger

A simple face made on felt or fabric that is then sewn on the top front of the form.

Hair made from yarn, beads, our anything that you can think up.

With something dangling from the bottom of the form either beads or details of the theme, (as shown in the picture.) for a Tail

The Theme of the Dotee is usually in the title of the swap. More information will be in the body of the swap and the Minimum standers given.

For this swap you will choose what Dotee you wish to make and decorate to fitting the theme you choose. Themes can be either simple as a color ** or a challenge ** A Butterfly Dotee

You choose how fancy or easy you wish to make your Dotee.

Here are the standers:

Your Dotee must be:

Between 4-6 inches

Have a hanger and a tail

For some ideas Come look at some flick pictures, of Dotees made from my group Dotee’s of All Kinds

There you will find examples of different dotees. This will give you the feel for what a dotee looks like, and what different themes there are made in.

This is a swap for anyone who would like to style and make a Dotee. This is a Newbie friendly swap.

Come on over and join our group to have some fun making different dotees.

The possibilities are there for a lot of fun any questions just email me.

Do we have to leave a comment here about what dotee's we wish to make or is it a surprise for our partner? I have never made a dotee before so i am glad that there are swaps like this to help us out.
