Flip Dolls & Other Toys That Zip, Stack, Hide, Grab & Go

By Laura Wilson
144 Pages (Hardcover)
Date Published: August 6, 2013

Why make an ordinary stuffed toy when you can sew irresistible creations that flip, zip, snap, stack, and move? Filled with wit, humor, and inventiveness, these delightful interactive playthings sometimes literally turn your expectations inside out. Page after page of clever projects include a caterpillar that changes into a butterfly, a vampire who becomes a bat, and ordinary dolls that transform into superheroes! Or stitch a pretty bird that perches on your shoulder, bunnies that bounce, a car with spinning wheels, and other amazing toys.

This book is all about making different objects that zip, stack, hide, grad and go!  All of the crafts do require sewing, so you should know that first off.  I think my favorite crafts from this book are the flip dolls where you can flip the clothes around to make a whole new animal or person!  All the templates you need are there and each page will tell you the difficulty level, tools & materials required, and the instructions.  Special skills are even noted and explained.  For a crafty person looking for ideas this is a great book.  The patterns alone make the book worth it and there are a lot of them in there!  I may actually need to learn how to sew or at least improvise the crafts as there are so many awesome ideas!  This would make an awesome gift as well!
BUY IT: You can buy Flip Dolls & Other Toys That Zip, Stack, Hide, Grab & Go on Amazon for $14.12 currently or look for it wherever books are sold.

  • I had a wonderful flip doll as a child. Little Red Riding hood on top, flip over the Wolf dressed as Grandma, in addition turn the wolf 180 degrees & there was Grandma. Oh, how I loved this doll. So many memories.
