| MAKE A DOLL - GLASS EYES |
|
|
| Follow the steps below to sculpt your very own doll! |
|
|
| STEP 1: Order your supplies! |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
| Your supplies should arrive in about a week. The doll will come headless in a narrow "bag". The wig you ordered will be in a separate bag in the style you ordered. |
|
|
| STEP 2: Put in the eyes! |
|
|
Putting in the eyes isn't as hard as you might think it is.
The back of your doll's head opens up and becomes a hollow opening. In this opening are two specific places to put the eyes. Set the eyes in the openings, and adjust them until they're in a position you like. Then, use your hot glue gun to secure them. (WARNING: If you'd like eyelashes on your doll, they'll have to go in first.)
After you finish gluing both eyes in, DON'T CLOSE THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! First, you have to attach the head to the body!! |
|
|
| STEP 3: Put the Head on! |
|
|
Dollfies with open eye holes don't just have their heads screwed on. There's a special procedure you'll have to follow in order to attach the head.
In the "bag" your doll arrived in, there is a small clear tube. This tube is meant to be cut into smaller, thinner rings. Cut away a small piece of the tube. It'll become a clear ring. (WARNING: Don't make the ring too thin.)
Place the head over the neck piece (there is a small extension coming off of the neck) and then slide the ring OVER the neck piece. This'll secure the head in place. There are instructions on the back of the "bag" your doll came in.
Finally, close the back of your doll's head. |

|
| STEP 4: Attach the Wig! |
|
|
| To attach the wig, cut the wig stopper into thin strips. The strips are just like crafting velcro; there is a sticky film on the back of each strip that helps it attach to your doll's head. Peel back the paper on the back of the strips. Then, stick them onto the head. (TIP: There's a picture on the back of the "bag" that once held the wig stopper. It shows how the strips should look on the doll's head.) |

|
| STEP 5: You're Done! Jump for Joy! |
|
|
| Glass eyes make your doll look more alive. But making a glass-eyed doll can be a bit tricky. Be very careful and gentle when making him or her. The results will be BEAUTIFUL-NESS. |
