BEAUTIFUL PAPER DOLL

I made a paper doll by The Enchanted Gallery. I only had printer paper but am unable to print the template so I just traced on my computer screen, all of the body parts and the cut them out. I didn't have paper fasteners so I used yarn and tacky glue.. nothing too fancy, just to hold it together yet still have articulated limbs.

 

 

How to make:

 

Step 1. Go to: The Enchanted Gallery - Paper Doll

 

Step 2. Click the template of your choice to enlarge for printing or trace over it with a sheet of paper.

 

Step 3. Use either yarn with tacky glue or the paper fasteners here.

 

[If you chose yarn or string just put a small string both holes on the body parts and glue the string below the hole and press the yarn. and do the same on the other side of the hole. Snip excess string. Do that to all holes on limbs and around neck.]

 

Step 4. Add the hair by applying glue and placing it on the forehead. Add a face with pen.

 

Tips: I'd use thick paper and try using scrapbook paper or other old-fashion parchment paper like OLD-FASHION PARCHMENT PAPER

SCRAPBOOK PAPER

Have fun with your new paper dollie!!! :)

DOLL HAIR RE-ROOT

Hi everyone!~

I've already made a human hair wig for one of my dolls and rerooted one of my other dolls so I'm doing it a second time but thought I'd share with you all. It has been done by a lot of doll enthusiasts but a lot of people don't know this so I'm sharing it :)

Chic Doll from thrift store
that I'm re-rooting

You will need:

Doll
Tweezers
Scissors
Hot Glue or Tacky Glue(I'm using Fabri-Tac)
Doll Hair(Purchase online of your choice - I'm using human hair I bought from Amazon)
Hair Rerooting tool or needle
(you can make your own by using exacto knife and replacing the blade with a sewing needle - snip part of the hole to where it has two prongs with the pliers and put the pointy end where the slit is and tighten it)
Pliers

Step 1. Remove Doll Head (run it under hot water to soften the vinyl or else you will break the neck connector or blow hair dryer on it.)

Step 2. Using the scissors, cut as much hair off as possible of doll head, the remaining will come out through the neck.

Step 3. Use the tweezers to put the hair out from inside the head.

Step 4. Grab your rerooting tool and a few strands of hair and place the needle in the center of the strand enough for a hole and either lay it over the hole and push through or put it on it and then push it through a hole.

Step 5. Do this all over until there are no more holes.

Step 6. Lastly, take your hot glue or fabritac(C) and squeeze into the head and cover all the hair inside so when you brush it it does not come out because it will. Let dry 24hrs; if using tacky glue.

Hope this was helpful. I will add pictures along the way so stay in touch soon. Thanks for visiting!!!

DIY DOLL FOAM COUCH

The idea all started with two pieces of foam leftover from (presumably) the brand new air conditioner. 

It has adhesive sides but I used the hot glue too.

To make this you need:

Foam

Hot Glue

Scissors

Measure Tape

Fabric to cover sofa

INSTRUCTIONS:

You figure how you want your couch to look and cut and assemble the pieces together and hot glue it or use the self-adhesive foam pieces without the hot glue. Once assembled, either leave the couch as is, or cover it with fabric of your choice; in my case, I think I'll hot glue fabric from old shirt. 

Take pictures and comment them below so that I can see your projects! :-)

Yarn Sewn Wig

Months ago, I followed a YouTube Channel by the name of Dollightful.

I watched her Sewn Doll Wig Tutorial and decided to re-create what she did but with my own doll and yarn. It turned out as a success!

It's amazing how the yarn looks when you brush it!!! Awhile back, I had made yarn tails: here and it was my first time with that one and used the same idea there for this.


Here's the final result! What do you think?

Thanks for viewing! xo -Marnie K
