On The Craft Table! Craft Table Month!

 Hey Gang!

The craft table is where I prep for dioramas. I think about what I need to flesh them out and hope to make what I don't have to do it. I realized that I have a lot of projects! So I needed a Craft Table Month.

On the craft table first is a few quick fixes!

I have these sombreros for Walmart. 

I used them for Carlos and his brothers in their mariachi band. 

                                      

Nice and cheap enough at about $1.00 for 4 hats but the trouble is the print is only on one side!

So I purchase a second set of hats hoping to give them a better look by duplicating the print on the underside.  Inside the crown of the hat I want to be black. I thought about painting it but the cardboard minght warp. Felt might change the size of the hat.  I am hoping to glue black paper inside the crown and then glue the same pattern brim to the underside of the hat.

I remove the brim from the dup.

I need to line up the holes from the elastic so that I can restring it later.

Once I put in the black paper for the brim, I will then glue the second brim into place.

The finished hat!

When I purchased new outfits for KiKi, I realized dthat she needed necklaces to go along with this outftis.

I made this necklaces to go along with her outfits but they can be used for other dolls too.

My beads

Turquoise necklace

Garnet necklace

The red works well with the outfit.

June and Nakoma in the necklaces!

Next up is a  few head swaps!

First up for a head swap is BTS RM (Kim)

He is the tallest member of the group but all the dolls are the same hight so I wanted to go for a taller body for RM..  

I got a taller body from AliExpress. The body has a smaller neck than Ken dolls and work well for pale dolls with small necks like BTS. This is Kim! He is an artist and love painting walls in his graffiti style.

I redressed him out of the suit into this casual outfit.

The difference in the height of the bodies.

I like this body's hands better too.

I have two V dolls. The original wiht pink and blonde hair which I've kept on the original body.

and this Prestige Doll one with all pink hair.

Closeup.

I love him with the one tone hair.

 I put on a BRM Man Bun Ken body.

I admit I have stuggled with the colored hair of the BTS dolls and how to style them. I watched a few of their videos and I think I'm getting the hang of it. I'm sure they paid good money to be styled and I should take advantage of the styles that they used.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
