Worry Dolls are tiny, hand-crafted dolls from Guatemala.
The dolls are clothed in traditional Mayan costumes and stand one-half to 1.5 inches tall.
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.
