really nice big daddy doll, im going to make one myself, what did you used to make the body, aswell as ataching it to the baseball, also how did you attach the rope/arms? like ive seen heaps of people make the doll with an actual baby doll body, they just took out the head and limbs, though im not to fond on that. i would really like to make a body that looks like the one you have mad?

 

I made the body of my doll out of scratch. I just cut a patten out of cream colored cloth and sewed the two parts together, then stuffed them with dried corn and cotton. I couldn't find a decent doll body at any of the hobby stores, and while it looks really good in the trailer and in the concept art, all the dolls made by other people who used the actual doll body looked kind of weird, so I just decided to make my own. In the end I think it looks a lot better than those others do.

The rope arms are just one piece of rope that I had sewn into the body. Attaching the head was the hardest part. I just sewed the cloth of the baseball to the cloth of the body, which ultimately ended up being rather limp. So I took a nail and hammered it into the baseball and rigged it to the back of the body behind the oxygen tank (film canister). If I had it to do over again, I think I would nail a cork to the bottom of the baseball, then sew the cork into the body.
