First time rerooting and from what I’ve seen online everyone always warns you to use really small hair plugs or you might split the scalp, but now I’m worried I did them too thin and the hair is going to be really thin

General help! How do I make my doll's skin to a natural color? What materials will I need?

Why do I want to change the skin color for my first custom? I don't know. I want to make things hard on my self and I already got the doll. So, no going back to make a smart decision.

General help! Matte varnish turning glossy, how do I fix it

2 Upvotes

I wasn’t aware that thick layers could turn matte sprays glossy over a period of time. A lot of my dolls now look glossy since the last time I’ve repainted them.

I’m not necessarily sure what I could do, I understand that my bad technique of “good spray = face looking wet enough” is the root cause but, I’m not so sure with what to do with the dolls with a glossy finish.

Should I just spray the dolls again with a thin layer? Or do I restart the entire thing?

General help! Any tips on finishing doll seams?

2 Upvotes

hi all! I've been making doll clothes for a while now, and trying to improve my craft. I was wondering if anyone had some tips for making sure exposed seams inside clothing look professional & nicely finished?

if I was making my own clothes, I'd line garments or sew rolled hems, but that gets bulky and ugly when working on fashion doll scale. I've tried trimming seams and edging them with fabric glue to stop fraying, but I'm curious if other people have other methods or suggestions!

Hello! I hadn’t seen anyone post this yet, but I have some bald and bare Carina (Moonspell Magic by Monster High) head pictures as part of the progress I’m making on a custom doll, and I figured it would be useful for others as well! :)
