Amazing Find At The Thrift Store Today

Amazing find at the thrift store today

Look what came in the mail!!

hi i want to talk about the hair tests for the mh dolls that were just published on carroll hensley-rodney’s portfolio

first up is g3 toralei. as she is the most jarring. it seems that in production they really did want toralei with a side part bob, but i guess in the end she got her long hair. also, her screening for the ghoul spirit doll is a little different, and a little scary 😅. still not as scary as that earlier prototype of her though…

next up is lagoona! her core screening is the same as those box prototypes and i still prefer this screening. BUUUT this ss1 test has completely different makeup and hair style! i love and prefer the crimped hair, i also love her makeup look (though i do think it’s better suited for a different doll) the blue and purple eyeshadow is gorgeous, i need it to comeback alongside this crimped hairstyle for lagoona

creepover and monster ball drac! i put them here because their screenings are little different and i find these variations interesting. monster ball has more of a saturated purple pink and a lighter brown; i do like her final screening better. creepover has a lighter makeup look and almost a sadder facial expression

this chucky surprised me because the screening is totally different! i think this screening screams more “chucky” to me, i don’t know much about the franchise, but going by appearance it’s a lot more accurate in my opinion

ok, that’s all! i will include a few more in reblogs though, those are just the ones i care less about

reblog if you think it’s ok to have plushies at any age

Sewing doll clothes!!

Tights/fishnets!

Tights make any outfit look cool. This is a really easy beginner project. Let’s make some! (I recommend reading through the whole post before starting!!)

Start by finding the doll you want to make tights for and a roll to plastic/cling wrap. (I’m using a Barbie, but you can use any doll!)

Cut a small rectangle, enough that you can wrap this around the doll’s leg and have extra on the side

Get the doll’s leg on the plastic wrap, over to one side. Then, you’re going to fold it over the dolls leg to cover it completely. It should fold like a U, touching but not wrapping around. DO NOT USE THE EXCESS TO WRAP AROUND THE EDGES!!

Move the excess plastic to the back of the leg (this is where the seam will be when we sew)

If it helps you, draw a line where the plastic wrap connects to each other. Cut the plastic where your line is

Take the plastic off the dolls leg and place it on a piece of paper, then trace. It doesn’t have to be perfect, mine is quite lopsided!

Cut your pattern out!

(Sorry for the pattern looking like this lmao) fold your pattern in half, then find the half thats smaller. Make a line like the photo above, and cut! Congrats, You will have a symmetrical pattern for doll tights!!

If something doesn’t make sense, just ask! I’m happy to help :))

Part 2 soon bc I hit the photo limit :)

Finishing the tights!!

Cut all the extra strings on the tights (do this right now before you inside-out the tights)

Inside-out the tights!!

Try the tights on your doll!! Mine could have been shorter and have tighter ankles, but you can change your pattern to fix any of your problems!!

Now your dolls are very stylish!!

Any questions are welcome!! :))
