DIY: Easy Skinny Jeans for Dolls!

Hi everyone! So today, I'm going to show you the skinny jeans I made for my doll.
PS Sorry about the pictures, I took them late. D:

I started off with a pair of flare jeans from Michaels, as part of the Springfield Doll collection. It cost $7, including a white tee.
First, I flipped the jeans over to the back. Then, I folded a part of the leg and sewed a button on top to secure the fold.

Here's a better picture. This is a comparison of how skinny the right leg is to how flare the other leg is.

I also sewed on a button for the waist.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I'm really proud of how my first leg turned out. I'll get back to you guys as soon as I finish the other leg.

I'm also thinking about posting a tutorial on how to sew a button, so watch out for that, too.

Good night.

Quick Harry Potter Stuff for Dolls!

Perhaps your doll is a fan of Luna Lovegood? Maybe she just wants to spice up an outfit? Is she deathly afraid of Nargles? Either way, this is the perfect accessory for her -- Luna Lovegood's ever-so dearly famous spectrespecs!

Simply print out the template, cut the pieces out and attach to cardboard, then assemble the parts together with hot glue.

Then, your doll has her very own pair of spectrespecs! Plus, here's a printout for an issue of the Quibbler to read while hunting down Nargles!

As for the Quibbler, just print out the template, and fold a crease straight down the middle. Let your doll read it upside down for true enjoyment!

Aaand..your doll is set for a wonderful day in Diagon Alley! Although she may want a wand. Maybe she'll procure one at Ollivander's?

For a wand, you'll want a small stick that'll make a good size for a wand. Get a hot glue gun, and make a spiral glaze, much like Hermione's wand.

How to Make Doll Beds

Hey guys! Skye here, and I'm going to show you how to make a super simple king-sized doll bed! This is great if you have one doll or if you have a favorite doll.

What you'll need:

- Two American Girl boxes, or a box that will fit two dolls on top

{I doubt that if you have one doll, you'll have two American Girl boxes}

- A fabric that will fit over the boxes

- Construction paper

- Wood, cardboard, or a pillow

1. The first step is to lay both boxes upside-down, next to each other. You can tape them together, if desired.

2. Lay the fabric on top of the boxes and fold the top part, as shown in the image below.

3. If the boxes show, then cover that part in construction paper.

4. In the back, add a headboard. You can use wood, a pillow, or cardboard. I'm using the lid of a storage ottoman.

5. And what's a bed without pillows? 

{here's a quick tutorial within a tutorial. :) my quick secret on making a doll pillow is getting a text book cover, and fluffing one pocket with packing peanuts. add a soft fabric over the packing peanuts. fold the other pocket and pin it to the stuffed pocket. confusing, much? there'll be a post on that asap.}

And, yep, it's that simple! Enjoy your fabulous doll bed!
