If you want to avoid harmful work the other most popular use for dolls is in love magic; tying dolls representing couples together to keep them faithful, dressing your personal doll with a love oil to draw a partner to you, etc.
You can also use them to keep others sweet in a honey jar spell.
Self poppets work wonders for healing. You can also use them to absorb any negativity that is sent your way. For this you would name the doll and announce it's job to do such a thing. If you do, do not use the same doll for healing or other uses, until you have stated that it's job is done. This will avoid adding any unwanted negative energy to future workings with the doll.
I'd like to know if this doll can protect the one who is being bullied at a distance by another? Would you give the doll the name of the person that is being bullied. How do you do this? How can this doll bring protection to the person being bullied?
To protect someone from bullies, you could create a voodoo doll in your friends' likeness, name it after them, and then do something like this: (Remember to add something from your friend like hair or a signature from your friend into the doll)
You can create a caim around his doll to make a shield for protection using Salt, Crystals such as tourmaline and clear quartz, and sage.
Sticking red pins into the doll's head and hands can symbolize power, or the ability to overcome something. Green pins in the head and heart bring peace and a sense of calm to your friend. Blue in the head and heart put love into their lives. Pink brings happiness, which should be put into the head, and white sends positive and good karma to them.

I didn't think voodoo dolls could be used for good purposes such as healing and love.All I've heard of using voodoo dolls for is major hexes and sometimes death!
Yes they can be used for more than just harm. From what I've read and verified from other practitioners, they were originally used in healing. You would stuff the doll with herbs containing natural curative properties.
To the person claiming you do not use pins in a doll.. Where did you get your information? Pins can be used as a means of directing energy. You can also use your finger or another object to do so. Though the stereotypical belief that one "stabbs" someone through the doll with pins is somewhat misleading.
Voodoo dolls are a form of sympathetic magic. One creates a connection to another being, using their likeness. A voodoo doll or poppet can be created out of any formable substance, but they are most often created with cloth and stuffed, or out of wax or wood. They are then stuffed with varous herbs or even personal artifacts to aid in the connection to the person, and to boost any work that is done through them.
