craft corner Dolly Peg Worry Dolls Worry Dolls are traditional little dolls originally made in Guatemala – the idea is simple – if at night you find yourself worrying about things (and worries have a habit of bothering you when you are trying to sleep), you tell your worries to these little dolls and place them under your pillow. The traditional worry dolls are very small, made from things like match sticks and scraps of fabric. Since then, there are lots of variations of making these bright and colourful worry dolls. 47
