What fun things you can do with Spare Parts
by Mab
Well if you are like me, you will have a piece break here and there and perhaps a piece you forgot to put the arm holes in. I have seen several projects that are not my own invention, but are wonderful ideas to do with your "mistakes".
I will try to make some of these up and put them on this page for examples very soon.
 

I have a head and bust ( one piece) and I forgot to put the armholes. So instead of throwing this piece out. I will use it to practice my china painting, to practice my wigging and when I am done with it, I will put a bit of lace around the collar line and make a miniature hat and when done, I will have a wonderful full wigged Hat Stand.....

I have a couple extra hands. For these I will glue them onto a little disk shaped finding and perhaps paint the nails and I will have fun making little beaded bracelts or just glue some very small beads right on to make your bracelet.. I might hang a mini purse I will make from the hand and then I will have a finished project of a miniature Hand to display my jewelry or mini purses.

I have a couple of legs.. Now what can I do with legs... I am going to take some of my leather and pracitice making Mini Shoes and when I am done, I will have a Miniature Shoe Display for perhaps a little Mini Store.

I have a childs head that I forgot to cut the neck line off.. I am going to paint it and mount it on some small disk shape and then I will crochet a little hat for it, or perhaps sew a little bonnet. Or perhaps you can make the head into a little mini Pin for you to wear and show off your dollmaking.
