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.

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!

Jin and Joycelyn!

 Hey Gang! 

Jin and Joycelyn are becoming fast friend!  They like a lot of the same books, movies, art and activities!

There might be some chemistry too but they aren't acting on it.  They are walking home together.

Joycelyn: So my sister just texted me about this exhibit in New York.  She wants to take the train up there to see it!

Jin: Your sister always keeps up with the coolest things!

Joycelyn: Do you want to go with us?

Jin: Do you think that she would mind?

Joycelyn: No! She likes you!

Jin: OK! I'll have to check with work. If I'm off, yes! The keep walking!

I have all of the BTS dolls but have only broken out two of them...Suga and Jung Kook. Now Jin comes out to play. I wanted to give them fashions that look more like what they might wear. I had to dig through my clothes to find this outfit for him and her. I don't even remember when and where I got the orange pleather bag.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

BTS Dolls! Some of the Last Purchases for 2020

Hey Gang!

Yes, I have purchased the BTS Dolls.  I got a few at Five Below but I got most of them at Ross for $3.99!  So the Bang Tang boys are in the house. 

I must say I love the faces and  articulation!

It took me a little longer to be OK with the hair colors and outfits but that is coming!

The great articulation is a plus for any doll and you have it with these!

They are wearing the outfits from their Idol tour.  There is another set with different 

outfits too. I did like the outfits and the hands on the other set and they are all 

sold together.

Now I could review them but there is no need to reinvent the wheel! I saw this video 

and did a pretty good review of the dolls!  My Froggy Stuff does a good review also.

I am currently restyling/redressing the and adding them to Johnston!  You have met a few

of my dolls that have been given a role in Johnston but I will be adding more.
