Last Saturday, I went to Millie’s home. We made a cute little doll from an old glove.
First, we chose a clean glove with bright colours and a fun pattern.
Next, we made the doll's legs from the two longest fingers of the glove and its arms from two of the other fingers.
Then, we used the main part of the glove as the head and the body. For the eyes, we glued two buttons.
Finally, we added some colourful thread onto the head— that was the doll’s hair.
After we finished, we gave the doll to Millie’s neighbour, a little girl. She loved it! We felt very proud and happy.
Introduction: When, where and what the DIY activity was.
Main body: Details about the DIY activity.
Conclusion: The result and your feeling(s).

Sample
Thursday, 5 November Sunny
This afternoon, I made a beautiful bookmark using dried flowers and cardboard.
First, I collected some flat dried flowers and leaves that I had pressed in a book last month. Then, I cut a piece of white cardboard into a rectangle. Next, I arranged the flowers on the cardboard gently to create a pretty pattern. After that, I used clear glue to stick them carefully and covered the bookmark with a thin layer of transparent film to protect it. Finally, I punched a hole at the top and tied a blue ribbon through it.
I gave the bookmark to my younger sister. She smiled and said it was the best gift ever. I felt so happy and creative!
