Doll Hair

Last week in my post I talked about my daughter's obsession with 18" dolls. The hair on her dolls have become really knotted and tangled over time, and I have been trying to figure out the best way to get their hair looking nice again. I finally figured out a way!

This is what the hair looked like before:

 And this is what it looked like after:

 This is what did the trick:

Yes, a brush! But it's not just any brush. This brush is made specifically for doll hair. It is a small brush with lots of wire bristles. You can buy them online from American Girl for $8, but I got mine at a local doll shop for $6. I got the dolls hair really wet and brushed and brushed. I also used some spray on the hair that helps get tangles out. It took me an hour or so to get the hair all brushed out, but it looks so much better now! Luckily this doll's hair was the worst of all of her dolls so it took longer to fix than the others. After we got all the tangles out we put it in braid so it will stay looking nice!

Doll Closet

My daughter is obsessed with 18" dolls. Her goal is to eventually save up enough money to buy an American Girl doll, but for now she has the 18" dolls from places like Target and Toys R Us. She not only loves her dolls, but she loves to dress her dolls, which means we have an abundance of doll clothes. She had a big bag that she kept all of the clothes in but it was really hard for her to find specific outfits because she would have to dump the whole bag out to search through it. So I decided to make a little closet for all of her doll clothes!

I went to a thrift store and found an old cupboard. Luckily it was in really good condition, and it was already white which is the color I wanted it to be. And it was only $15! I took it home and cleaned it up really good, then cut some vinyl using our Silhouette machine. I put the vinyl on the doors to make it look cute and girly.

The next thing I did was add a bar inside for the clothes to hang on. I also got some little baskets to put the shoes in at the bottom of the closet. For the hangers, I got children hangers at Target and then used gardening sheers and cut them so they were the right size for the doll clothes.

(I hadn't put many clothes in the closet yet when I took this picture)

 I think it turned out pretty cute! My daughter loves it and it definitely helps keep her doll clothes more organized!

Flower and Feather Headband

I experimented today with making a new headband for my daughter. I have made lots of different headbands and flowers for her before but I wanted to try something different this time. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought some feathers, a fabric flower, and a jewel. I curled the ends of the feathers and then hot glued it all together. I didn't take any pictures of how I did it because I was short on time, and I wasn't exactly sure what I was doing, but I have the stuff to make another one so I will do a tutorial on it soon!
