If you have ever wondered how to make spun cotton figures from scratch, this is a great introductory project to the nostalgic art of spun cotton. For these small-scale antique style spun cotton dolls we will be using quilt batting on an armature of cotton pipe cleaners. The finished figures measure about 4 1/2 inches tall, which is a good size for hanging on the Christmas tree.
