Steps To Making A Photo Doll

By Marci Glover


Dolls with photos attached to them are one of the in things right now because it is personalized which means that one may take it with him wherever he goes. The great news is that one does not need to go to a store to make one. As long as he knows how to do some basic sewing, he can create a photo doll at home.

Now if one would want to start this kind of project, then the first thing that he must do would be to have a picture that he could use for the art project. Now this could be the picture of anyone like a loved one or even a simple celebrity. One may even get the picture from the internet but he does need to print it out in sturdy paper.

Now since a face has to be attached to the head portion of the figure, then one has to make sure to cut it out. So before doing anything else, take a pair of scissors and cut out the face in the picture. When that is done, one may then move on to the next step.

When that is already finished, then one should make sure that the picture will be sturdy and not bend. One way to do this would be to cut out a small cardboard and stick it to the back of the photograph. By doing this, one will make sure that it will not be bent out because the small cardboard is there to give support to the back area.

Once one has already done that step, then he may put the small picture on the side of the table for awhile and then concentrate on making the figure. Now he may design the figure just about anyway he would want depending on his creativity. He may make a very simple design or he may make a really fancy one.

Of course it is very hard to come up and create the design from scratch if one is not very good at sewing. Now in this kind of situation, one thing that one can do would be to look for a stitching pattern on the internet or in a book. All one has to do would be to follow the pattern and then create the figure in an instant.

Once one has already made the figure, then the very next thing to do would be to stick the picture on to the head portion of this figure. Now the best way to do this would be to of course stitch the picture to that area. Now one has to remember to do this very carefully and very slowly because trying to stitch it too fast may actually ruin the photograph rather than making it look nice.

Now the last step would be to spruce up the figure a little bit so that it will look much nicer. If one is good at stitching clothes together then he may make up some small clothes for the figure like a small sweater or even create a small wig for it that is made out of yarn or any other type of material. At this stage, he can just let all of his creative juices run free and create something that looks very unique.
