Really, they can be as simple of fabric wrapped around and a face painted on. But here's a tutorial that was just featured on Tip Junkie:

I love making clothespin dolls! In fact, I might just have to make a new one this weekend! I like to make mine in costumes:

Jenna,
I love your clothespin doll!! Very cute.
About two weeks ago I purchased a couple dozen clothespins at the dollar store.
I am hoping that some one would start a new swap.

A swap, what an excellent idea! I am more free in July than June, perhaps if no one else has set one up by then I'll take the reins. :)

I think I have links around here somewhere to quite a few patterns for these if anyone wants them.
