BE-YOU-tiful- DIY Recycled Doll

Hello everyone

We are back with a new post and this we have one more doll to share with you. We wanted to make a sister doll for the previous doll we had posted earlier. You can check it here. 

These both dolls symbolizes us. Don't you think they resemble us? 

This time theme at "The Twisted Challenges"  is  Fairy Tales + Add your Own Twist.  You all might be familiar with the story of Snow White, where a wicked woman is jealous of Snow white's beauty. She asks the mirror every morning, "Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" The wicked woman used to compare herself with others' beauty and so was unhappy. So.never compare yourself with others. Comparison is the thief of joy. Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.

We have a tutorial for making these dolls.
Materials Required:
Old sauce bottle
Fevicryl shilpkar clay
Fevicryl acrylic paints
Paint brushes
Foam flower (optional)
Fevicryl fabric glue
Black wool
Black OHP marker

Method
Start by cleaning sauce bottle. Wipe it dry.
Mix the two parts of clay well that they are blended well.
 Now take some talcum powder in your hands and start making a round ball for the face and a small cylinder for the doll's neck.. Leave some clay for hands.
Now take the remaining clay and roll it into a circle. Poke a small hole in the centre. 
Now carefully take the round clay and place it over the bottle also form it into a cape as seen in the doll.
Then place the small cylinder shaped clay with help of fabric glue on top of bottle and place the big round clay for the head.
With the remaining clay, divide it into two halves and roll it like a long thin log. Place one end of the log  under the cape and other end joining each other as if both hands are touching each other.

Let it dry completely. This will take half hour to an hour.
Now give a coat of white paint. Let it dry and give one more coat.
After it dries, give a coat of color of your choice. We have painted it red for the gown and golden for cape. Paint flesh tint color on face and hands. 
After it dries, make hair using black wool. You can try any hairstyle you wish. Now with black marker, draw eyes and lips. 
Place a foam flower if you wish.
Ta da, doll is ready.
