• Worry Dolls are tiny, hand-crafted dolls from Guatemala.
• Women from Guatemala bind pieces of wood together or twist together short lengths of wire to create a frame and fashion a torso, legs, arms, and head. By winding cloth and yarn around the frame, the artisans give the doll shape.
• They use scraps of traditional woven fabric to make the doll costumes and wind more yarn to create the head, hair, feet and hands. Sometimes, they add a tiny woven basket or other traditional implements.
• Purchase products handmade by fair trade standards. Empower women.
