Shimmy Shan
A Bead Crochet Doll

She's a doll
a sculpture
a centerpiece
a bookshelf decoration

She's also a necklace
a choker
a bracelet.

And she's a DOLL


If you know how to crochet, you can make the Shimmy Shan Doll.

Your friends will be amazed when you take her off the shelf and turn her into a necklace and bracelet!

If you can't crochet or need a refresher, the kit includes a fully illustrated refresher course with all the crochet stitches you'll need.

Shimmy Shan is a collector doll unlike any you have ever seen.  She sits on the coffee table, the bookcase or anywhere you like.  You can pose her in lots of positions.  She's a real cutie.

And you can wear her.  Her legs, her arms, her jump rope and even her head can all be worn in different combinations for a different look every time you wear her.

You can make your own Shimmy Shan Doll in any of the beautiful Beadwrangler Seed Bead Mixes.

In the Options section of the Instruction Booklet you will find ways to make Shimmy a mermaid or other fantasy figure.   You can add hair made of beads or fiber, add eyes and lips or even create an entire friend for Shimmy made entirely of fiber.

Shimmy Shan is definitely one of the most fun dolls you will ever own.  And you'll know that you made her yourself!
