How to Make a Voodoo Doll

Do a little magic by making your own simple voodoo doll.

Step 1: Sew buttons on the head of the doll to represent eyes and a mouth.
Step 2: Add the 7 pins to the chest of the doll to symbolize success, positivity, power, spirituality, money, love, and repelling negative energy. Use your doll to cast spells of love or as a conversation piece on your desk at work.
FACT: Born in 1801 and known as the Voodoo Queen, Marie Leveau, was considered one of the most successful yellow fever nurses in New Orleans.
TIP: The yarn is for contrast so it does not need to cover the entire doll.
Step 3: Wrap yarn around the body and arms of the doll to contrast the fabric strips.
Step 4: Wrap moss around the sticks in a thick covering, as tightly as possible, starting where the sticks are crossed. Leave a small portion of the ends of the shorter stick uncovered to represent hands.
TIP: If the moss is too loose and will not stay in place, wrap twine around the moss to hold it in place.
Step 5: Wrap the fabric strips around the doll to cover the moss. Leave moss showing at the very ends of the sticks and secure the strips into place with craft glue.
Step 6: Cross the sticks in a lowercase t-shape and lash them together using twine or hemp cord.
