Fancier Doll Pictures

Add some extra fancies to your photos with some items you likely already have in your home. If you don't have some of the items below, these will cost you very little and are temporary items that won't permanently alter your dolls. First, go through your jewelry box and find items you think would suit your dolls, such as necklaces with small charms. You can put the necklace on your doll, like pictured below, but just get a paperclip, piece of tape, etc. to hold it in place.

Want earrings on your dolls, but don't want to commit to holes in their ears? Put some loose rhinestones to good use by temporarily adhering them to your doll's ears. I used poster putty to stick the rhinestones on since it is nice and temporary, not super adhesive, and lacks color to dye doll skin.

Those are a couple of quick tips add a little extra flair to your dolls pics. Happy picture-taking!

Dress Up Your Doll Outfits

Coming up in my Etsy shop very soon are some lovely knitted scarves for 1:6 scale dolls. In many of the pictures there are little charms attached to the scarves and I wanted to provide you with a secret to a nearly free way to dress up your doll outfits. Many of the charms I use are old stud earrings I used as a kid that I are cluttering up my jewelry box. I use the earring backing to hold it in place on the outfit. It's a great way to use that little earring that you lost the match for a long time ago. If you don't have any on hand, try second-hand stores to get some for pretty cheap. Try it out!

Barbie Clothes, Christmas in July

Ever feel like you have a ton of Christmas junk that you probably won't keep using every year during the holiday season? A friend of mine likes to dress up her Barbies for Christmas and wanted me to make a dress for her. I thought repurposing some of my less loved Christmas stuff into doll clothes was just the ticket. I also recently heard from some folks at IFDC that people often look out for Christmas clothes for their dolls. Below are some pictures of a dress I cooked up out of those Christmas products. I hope it provides some inspiration for future doll fun! Some new designs based on Integrity dolls are soon to come!
