Looking for a unique craft idea? Create your own nesting doll with this DIY matryoshka kit! Draw, paint or Wood burn - all is up to you! We offer top quality linden wood unpainted blanks hand carved in Polkhovski Maidan, the biggest center of nesting doll production in Russia. Midsize five-piece sets are the most popular. Height and Diameter of all the dolls in a 5pc./6 "" doll set vary from set to set, but here are the typical measurements: 5.5 - 6 " tall x 3 " diameter; 4.5 "x 2.25 ", 3.25 " x 1.75 ", 2 " x 1 ", 1.25 " x .6 ". Please be advised: Blank items ordered from Golden Cockerel are made of real live linden wood. Real wood has imperfections, including but not limited to; discolorations, knots, holes and dry spots. While we strive to pick the best, blemish free linden wood for our blank products, imperfections will occur. In the case of knots, dents or holes we may use wood putty to fill these areas. This creates a smooth surface for the application of artwork.
