A Cute Little Bun for Your Cute Little Dude

A bun on a Little Dude is one of those hairstyles that makes me smile every single time. It’s tiny, it’s tidy, and it magically makes them look like they’ve got important errands to run — even if their biggest job is sitting on a shelf looking adorable.

Here’s how I do mine: I gather the hair like I’m making a ponytail, twist the whole tail around my fingers, and then let it coil into a little yarn donut. A small piece of matching yarn or a hair tie goes around the base to hold it in place, and boom — instant cuteness.

Some buns come out neat and smooth.
Some buns look like they fought a small battle and barely survived.
Both types are valid.

The fun part is seeing how much this one tiny style changes the doll’s expression. Suddenly they look sophisticated. Or mischievous. Or like they’re about to teach a pottery class.

It’s such a simple little touch, but it brings so much personality. Try making one — I promise you’ll fall in love with the look.
