I noticed a few people on Etsy turning them into dolls. What a great idea, lets see how I can make these my own. The heads are paper mache, the features are drawn with artist pencils and fine art pens. A little bit of paint and either gloss varnish or wax to coat the finished head.
And finally I get to use my collection of bottle tops!
I took my first ones to the market and they proved to be quite popular and sold a couple. I've listed 'Ghost Girl' in my Etsy shop, go take a peek there are more photo's of her there. I'll only be making a these until I run out of wooden spools!

What a great way to recycle all the cotton reels. I would never know what on earth to do with them all!
