2. Lay sanded shrink plastic over doll pattern and trace with pencil.
3. Cut out all of the pieces, and punch holes where indicated.
4. Apply chalk to cut out pieces, using a cotton swab or the applicators provided in the Chalklets™kit.
5. Stamp a face on the doll head.
6. Shrink the doll head with a heat gun, holding in place on a heat resistant work surface such as a cutting board or tile. 
7. Repeat stamping and shrinking each of the pieces. 
8. Join the doll pieces with jump rings, and adding spacers at the shoulders and legs.
9. Loop decorative thread or fibers around 2 fingers several times for the desired amount need for hair. Tie the loops together with thread.
10. Sew the hair to the hole in the top of the doll, at the same time sewing it to a fabric purse.
11. Cut the loops of the hair to complete your dancing diva doll!
