Harry Potter Mandrakes

To make a Mandrake start with a terra cotta pot, $1 store dolls, artificial plant, fabric strips, floral block, and moss if desired.

Remove the dolls clothes and hair

Prepare the pot with the floral block while the glue gun heats up.

I start gluing a fabric strip to the top of the dolls head and wrap it around the head continually adding glue. 

I then move to the body and arms.  There is no need to go past the waist.  The legs will be stuck into the floral foam.  Paint the fabric on the doll a brown color.

Stick the doll into the floral foam and glue your artificial plant leaves on top of the head.  Add moss as desired.
