Vintage (or Antique ) Doll making turorial. Make your own memories.

Whether you are using a sculpting method to create your art figures or sewing them, don’t you just feel the need once in a while just to play with beads, lace, buttons, and ribbons? Admit it, we artists, love this stuff! What about tiny little flowers, rhinestones, and lace? Did I mention experimenting with paints and antiquing the surface? Not on the box or another prop, but right on the doll! We will even patina some silver!



I like taking something new and “aging” it! It is so much fun to see it “grow old” in front of your eyes.

Maybe you can make your own fun memories by creating a doll of your childhood, something that you used to have a long time ago and forgot all about?

I will be using creative paperclay for this project, but please, don’t let it stop you if you prefer polymer clay. The techniques I use will surely work on it as well!





As a little girl, I never had lots of dolls. My favorite doll was the one I once found in a sandbox outside my house.
