Make This Cute CP Round-Face Doll

I just love those cute round-faced, skinny-legged doll figures that are seen on many websites and blogs, usually made of cold porcelain.  The figures are very simple, but with just a few touches here and there, lots of personality can be added.   Here is a video slideshow showing you how to create a seated version of these doll figures, step by step.   My humble attempt at translation of the text is below the video.

Attach arms at shoulders with glue.

Use a push mold for flowers and make 3 little yellow flowers.  One for belt "buckle" and 2 for hair barrettes.   Set aside.  Attach to doll with glue when dry.

Use a Styrofoam ball for head.   Make a ball of flesh colored CP about the same size as the foam ball.
Flatten the ball of CP into a circle (not too thin) and wrap it around the foam ball.
Cover the foam ball completely, smoothing all seams.   Make the entire round head as smooth as possible.

Insert a toothpick (with glue on the tip) part way into the head.
