There you have it, your very own voodoo doll! This doll makes for great Halloween decor or all year round if you like to keep things a little spooky. This is also a great gift for someone who loves creepy or interesting things. I encourage you to experiment with different colors, yarns, and hook sizes to make this project your own.
