I was so inspired finally seeing him so made a photo of these two😌

I asked a doll person for a pattern a few years ago, then I asked again (willing to pay) the answer was no and no again. He said I could do it. I guess he was right I did it🤎👈🏿

I got Oueneifs to swap the outfit for another they had. Loving how it looks on her.

Been having fun chopping away this wig that came with my doll, and styling it with plastic glue. Funny enough it feels like hair with hairspray in it so it worked out perfectly!

So I had someone mention i should included a picture of the style im wanting to go for. I am sewing this whole thing together by hand and am extremely new to this whole wig making process. I want to get an old school emo/punk hairstyle(last picture shows said cut). Im not really sure where to place the part to get this result or really any of it to be honest. Ive done research but have not found much in the ways of DIYs with yarn and sewing. If anyone knows where I could find some diagrams showing hair placement for a bunch of different styles that would be amazing!.

I do plan on cutting the hair to get the proper lengths and what not but in order to get to that point I need to figure out where to place all the yarn bundles.

This is Anne from the gen 1 icy fortune days collection. I want to try making a wig out of yarn for her and want to make it right. Can anyone help me with advice and information on how to place the yarn bundles to create the hair style I want to achieve? All advice and tips are welcome. How is it so far?

I just got Melanie this morning! She actually smiles and is just gorgeous! There are always some differences between the original and what you actually get, but these were pretty nice.

The clothes are all one layer (no panties, so I'll be sewing some later), but the whole outfit is there and she even stands up. Please excuse the messy kitchen table, but today was just OMG!

Bikini in the works. The pants work but the top needs a redo

I'm interested in getting the Angel Philia dupe from Oueneifs on AliExpress, and one of the reviews mentioned the seller accommodating switching the body for a different one. I much prefer this body vs the one the listing comes with, but does anyone recognize which body this is?? The buyer said they requested a specific body but I'm unsure which 1/4 one it might be from their store. Perhaps someone recognizes from which doll it comes from by the hands or the visible hip bones? 🥲

Hi! Here’s my DDS Karin wearing a default Volks nightgown and a pair of unbranded socks.

Mainly I wanted to ask a few questions. I bought a body stockings that you can see in the pictures. I bought it from AliExpress, it’s not a branded accessory, since I cannot afford to order from Volks for now. I wanted to make my Karin into a comfort doll, that is to pose her a lot, move her from place to place and give her a good hug from time to time. I’m very new to the hobby so I’d appreciate any tips (I know that I have to avoid touching her face and that it’s best to not touch her wig either - well, I can’t do much about the wig though - it’s massive).

Questions I wanted to ask:
- do I have to worry about staining or any other problems (like damage, scratches, permanent dents etc) with this body stockings on?
- should I worry about wrinkles on her thighs?
- is it ok to put the body stockings inside her arms (see the photo)?
- any other tips on handling a doll with a protective body stockings?

Thank you very much in advance!

I recently received these kimonos for my dolls and I couldn't resist taking pictures of them in nature. They're so cute! It was really nice to take pictures surrounded by nature—relaxing and refreshing. The only problem was the mosquitoes; they didn't spare me! x3

Very happy my attempt at soldering worked out now I have jewelry that’s not falling apart constantly and is easy to put on!

Sewing dreams and ideas are invading my head space. I’m editing a video for YouTube in CapCut. Entrenched in the learning curve and dreaming of things I could be sewing. This time tho - I’m not giving in. When I finish editing I will sew🧵🤎👈🏿

Doll eyes made out of glass carbochons

Sooo since this comes up frequently here a little step by step for making eyes out of glass Carbochons.

I like small anime bjd dolls so I make mostly anime eyes. This makes eyes that follow you and give the face more depth, very fun concept.

The Carbochon should cover the whole eye opening. Lunar Lore and Freedom Advocates take 8mm for example.

Minty Fantasy Forest, 10000escape plan, GSC, Don't Touch my bangs will take 10mm.

I also got a cheap 1/4 head that takes 14mm.

What you need:

-Glass Carbochons in the right size

-utensils you wanna draw/paint with, I use aquarell

-sandwich/parchment paper and pencil

-white paper that is a bit thicker, I use my aquarellpaper

-glossy acrylic varnish

-gel super glue

-nail or other small scissors

Any paper will do for the first part, since the aquarell paper I use is expensive I don't want to waste it. Take the carbochon and draw around it to get the right eye size on paper. Draw how big you want your pupils and make a template on the parchment paper. Be sure to try the Carbochon on, as it will act as a magnifying glass.

Now you can transfer your pupils on the thicker paper. Be careful not to paint them too close together, or your carbochons will not fit later.

Draw the pupils with your preferred medium. Let them dry.

To get less air bubbles coat the eyes and the

underside of the carbochon with glossy acrylic Varnish, let dry.

Put a drop of gel superglue on each eye and press the carbochon onto the eyes, make sure the pupils are where you want them later, for example mine are always a bit off center to make the doll look at you and not just stare ahead.

Let dry, cut out and fixate with eye putty.

Have fun customizing your dolls!
