DIY Felt Dress Up Dolls Series: Merida

I love Merida's hair! I love the color, I love how big and unruly it is. I enjoyed her hair piece a lot. In contrast, Merida's dress was very simple: a top, a skirt, and a belt. That's why I decided to embroider the edges with simple patterns, to add a little character.

This is what Merida looks like assembled.

I've been thinking about making a bow and arrow... Maybe cover toothpicks in felt? I have to think about it more.

I don't have access to Goldilocks and I'm not very good with complex recipes so I looked around and did an experiment aaaaand here we go! Wait.
