The 'Katniss' Look for Dolls

Is your doll a fan of the Hunger Games? Or maybe's she's looking for that 'Katniss' look?
Here's how your American Girl doll can get the 'Katniss' look.


First off, you want the jeans and the top. There is an amazingly cheap set of a plain white tee and flare jeans for dolls around $7 at Michaels. You can pin the bottoms of the jeans to make them have a skinny cut, like in the picture below.
Liberty Jane Patterns offers a skinny jean pattern for a low cost, and a free basic shirt pattern, so you can also sew one.


For a thick, hunting-style jacket, you can use any snow jacket purchased from American Girl (this one would work as a charm) or sew a jacket using this Liberty Jane pattern for cheap. I am using the jacket from AG's Frosty Fun set.


For shoes, try any boots, preferably combat boots, such as Addy's Lace-Up Boots. Snow boots like these also work.

The 'Katniss' look is great for dolls who want a fresh, new look that works for everybody. I hope you enjoyed! ^.^

Later.

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.
