    Hi Meensatwork, Viji, Shanta
    Very nice dolls and nice hair design.
    I used black felt for the hair-I am attaching the pictures. As I attached the round piece to the head I sewed the folds to fit the head. Hope folks who cannot get the nice hair-wigs from India can use this tip.

    Shanthagomathi, your Kolu is very sweet. Liked it. you have decorated the marapachis very nicely. This thread would have helped many to get informations on getting the dolls and decorative items.

    Meena and viji, liked your marapachi decorations too.

    KKrish, your idea of using black felt for hair, beautifully braided is also wonderful.

    Congrats to all of you, shantagomathi, meena, viji.

    Dear Mimur
    Thank you for your compliments. Glad you like my idea. Even black velvet or knit jersey may work well. But nothing will equal doll hair wig right?
