Paint Your Own Nesting Dolls comes on a CD-ROM as an e-book, in PDF format with patterns and template files, which are also PDF. You just need to have a free PDF reader installed on your computer (easy to download from the Internet) and you can read it on-screen, print it out or print certain pages out. This format also means that you can print the patterns and templates out again and again.

Ten step-by-step, inspirational projects in full-colour, with all the patterns and templates you need. There are also a few templates to design your own, plus - some extra ideas to try. The nesting Dolls projects begin with an easy to do starter doll and gradually build up to dolls with more detailed decoration. You will need blank wooden nesting dolls and a basic painting kit. All equipment and suppliers are detailed in the book. If you would love to paint your own Russian nesting dolls but do not know where to begin, this book starts you off with easy to master techniques.

I have been painting my own nesting dolls for about ten years now. I am aware of it being a growing craft in the UK, but with a lack of instructional books on where to start, so I have self-published this one and placed it onto CD and packaged it myself. The paper print out size is A4 and the projects are - Starter Doll, Babies, Astronauts, Colourful, Snow family, Decorative, Hatching Bird, Garden Birds, Kokeshi, Matryoshka.

This CD does not require a special e-book reader and will view on your PC.
