This cute Matryoshka doll key chain is so easy to make....it will only take you a few minutes.
First of all you'll need the Matryoahka doll fabric.
If you are looking for a place to buy there are many different shops on Etsy that supply similar fabric just make sure the dolls are big enough. My doll measured 3.5" by 1.75"....here's a link

If you don't have this you can easily use plain fabric and draw your features on.
Here's what you will need
Fabric, stuffing, ribbon (I prefer grosgrain), a split ring and a sewing machine.

Cut 2 pieces of fabric and place them wrong sides together |

Once stitched around carefully clip the edges near to the stitching |

Turn her the right side out and stuff her....making sure you fill everywhere till she is firm |

Next thread the ribbon through the split ring. I sew the 2 ribbon ends together for extra hold |

Push ribbon into the doll and turn the edges of fabric under so you have a neat edge |

Sew back and forth with the machine to secure ends and attach ribbon to doll |
|
And you'll end up with one charming key chain. I'm going to have a go with other shapes too.
