Last Christmas Eve, my daughter threw me for a loop. As we were setting out our stockings that night, suddenly a tiny stocking from the tree appeared for Sophie, her "American Girl" doll.
I looked confused. Santa only brings for kids, I said.
But, she argued, the doll was good.
Fortunately I had a small accessory I had picked up that I quietly switched to Sophie's stocking that night. And I thought that was the end of it.
This year, though, she's already informed her brother that Santa will bring toys for his stuffed animals if he finds a stocking for him!
While I'm still shaking my head about that one, I did come up with a quick stocking stuffer idea for her doll this year. For the craftily challenged, it only takes about 5 minutes and can be done with minimal supplies at home. My daughter loves the sleep mask we had purchased for her for road trips, so why not make one for her doll, too?
Here's what you need for your a sleep mask for your doll.
Felt, craft foam or fabric scrap - approximately business card size or slightly larger.
Ribbon or yarn
Fold the felt in half horizonally and round the corners. Unfold.
Cut the ribbon or yarn in half and thread each half into one end of the sleep mask. Knot it so it doesn't loosen.
To use, place sleep mask over face and tie around the back of the head. Sweet dreams!
