In celebration of Shavuot, make your very own challah doll! This activity is a great alternative for those who are allergic to wheat, for an easy no-cook rainy day project, or for anyone who has ever wanted their own silky snuggly challah to love.
Materials (per pair of challot):
-3 pairs of beige pantyhose
-fiberfill stuffing (polyester or cotton is fine)
-needle and thread (beige if you have it) or glue gun
Instructions:
Cut off the waist section of the pantyhose so that you have six "legs." Gather together the "toes" of three pairs each and sew together. You should now have what look like two very limp unbraided challot. Next, stuff each of the "legs" full of stuffing, filling them about 3/4 of the way. Tie a loose knot in the end of each leg. Now, braid each of your challot and sew up the other end. Next, give your challot a big hug!
