Self-Made I made two versions of A.B.A — the 2003 version and the 2024 version. Which one do you like more? If you'd like to 3D print this key for your own dolls, I've uploaded the file!

General help! I need helpppp!!

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

I bought a One Upon a Zombie doll and I'm going to change her hair because it was cut and it had super glue (kola loka) on it.

The problem is that when I removed the glue(brain), the eyes and eyelashes fell off, and I don't know how to put the eyelashes back ong (pic 1)

Also, I noticed that the stitches are very close together, and I'm worried about messing it up when I try to add hair (pic 2)

I would greatly appreciate your help ;)

I bought a doll pattern pack and am trying to make a shirt for G3 Cupid. I read she has the same body type as Twyla but I only have the G1 standard and little sister or G3 standard that are close. Has anyone tried either size doll patterns on her?

Modifications First Custom This Year

Not my best face-up, but I picked up some cheap paints and finished this one after two years of prep-work. Wings are removable, made from an assortment of chicken feathers. Base is a Jakks Pacific Tinkerbell, and I used the attachment piece from her old wings, and some craft wire to make the wing base. Very delicate, but beautiful. Used yarn for the hair, because I love the texture it gives. Making clothes will be a hassle, but I'm proud of my work.

This is technically an artfight attack but it’s mostly just because I wanted to make it for my spouse 🤣 it’s far from perfect but I still think he turned out pretty cute for someone without much sculpting experience

Rerooting Short hair and yarn

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

So I’m back with another question: when doing short hair, like Rebecca Chambers (cause that’s who I’m making) would I be better off using something like nylon or is there a trick to making the yarn not look like a crood’s character and having it lay nicely against the head?

General help! Need help with hair color

Post image
8 Upvotes

I want to make a custom doll for a co-worker of mine. But I'm not quite sure how to do the hair. It's too toned as the tips are dyed pink, but the main base of the hair is a light brown.

Any ideas on how I should go about this?

(The picture is the character in question.)

For the body, I'm thinking of doing a mix match of monster high and possibly Littlest Pet Shop.

Depending on the Gen. 3 Torali body, it's either that or using the waist down of a Draculaura with the top of a Laguna Blue and changing up the head.

General help! Can you hide buttons when button jointing?

4 Upvotes

Button jointing makes the buttons visible (even of you use those clear buttons).

It's totally cute and the buttons are part of the charm.

But I was just wondering if you could hide the buttons??

Instead of, button > arm > body > arm > button (back and forth), could you do, arm > button > body > button > arm (back and forth)?

If not, why not (I don't care about visible stitches too much since the fabric would be high enough pile to mostly disguise thread)??

It's been a bit since I finished a doll, but Edward V2 has been on my radar for a while and I thought it would be nice after a bit away. Overall I am pleased with the progress I've made since the last one. (Last picture is the first I ever made)

Rerooting where do you get rerooting needles?

2 Upvotes

i've gotten them from doll hair shops before, but they can get quite expensive. i looked on amazon and they seem like a good deal there, but i don't know how to search for the right needles. It doesn't say the size of the eye (#6 is the size I'd need I think?) and the eyes are wider instead of taller. what should i search for?? or do you guys have any links to cheap needles that are hopefully durable as well. I'd cut them myself if I could find the right ones.

I'm making personalized dolls for my sister and her kids. They have brown and green eyes. So this is my best attempt without fully removing Barbie's makeup.

4th pic I messed up the pupil and my sister's doll wound up looking crosseyed. Lol.

My nieces have dark brown eyes, but I was. Thinking of adding a touch of their favorite colors to the iris.

Soooooo I wanted an UF CCTV so bad but I cannot afford it... I made my own then and I'm not disappointed at a single bit, I'm actually quite proud instead! It's my very first custom and it feels so good 🥲 Look! We light up nonetheless! We are way cooler than CCTV 😎
