How to Make Crochet Dolls Stand Up

Crochet dolls are flimsy and can̵7;t stand on their own. To display a crochet doll in an upright position, use a doll stand. A doll stand is a pole mounted to a base. Some doll stands have a waist or head ring to support the doll, while others have a wire pole that is inserted into the back of the doll̵7;s clothing to support the weight. If the crochet doll doesn̵7;t have clothing, use a stand with rings.
