No More Worries'! doll kit

A trip to World Market earlier in the year inspired us to make this next craft project: The "No More Worries' " doll kit. I bought one of the kits to use as a pattern ($1.99) and I also found a cylindrical package of 8 worry dolls ($3.99 approximately).  

*UPDATE*: I found worry dolls in bulk here : http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1/186-0560145-8339133?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=WOrry%20dolls

Each box was personalized. The top box Effervescent Ethel made for herself, the second one for Commodore GrumpyBritches, and the third worry box for a friend's birthday.

Craft items used including suggestions:


-empty matchboxes
-scraps of fabric to line the boxes inside and outside
-scrap paper, recycled greeting cards, magazines, etc. 
-glue, regular and Alene's fabric glue
-scissors
-pencil
-ribbon
-things to decorate the inside and outside of the box: self-adhesive rhinestones, mini rick rack, googly eyes, small coins, movie stub, charms,  etc. Also, rocks (I added a few small sunstones), rhinestones/ sequins, buttons, loose glitter, magazine or greeting card cut outs, etc.; anything to personalize it.
-permanent marker to sign and date the bottom of the inner box.

The Batman! EE customized this No More Worries'! doll kit for Commodore GrumpyBritches.

Cost: $6 total (that includes the cost of the kit and the package of worry dolls). Each matchbox worry doll kit cost about .50 cents to make.
