One would probably see some beautiful dolls when he visits the houses of his friends. Now the dolls that one would usually see is known as a BJD doll and it is a doll that uses balls and joints in order to connect the body parts. Now if one is into collecting these kinds of figures and having them as decorations, then he might as well make some of them at home in order to save money.
Now just like any creative endeavor, the first thing to do would be to create and conceptualize. Now in this part, it is best that one would first put down all his ideas in a notebook or a paper. So the very first step here would be to draw the doll and design it already before even starting the entire process.
Once he has already made the design, then the very next step would be to buy the necessary materials for the project. Now the best thing that one could use for this type of endeavor would be Super Sculpey. Super Sculpey is a mold or clay like material that is very sturdy and can be used to make the figure.
So in order to create the skeleton of the doll, one has to start by using some hard wires so that the figure will be able to stand. Now in order to do this, one just simply has to get a bunch of hard wires and create the head, the arms, the legs, and the entire body of the figure. Take note that these wires are hard and may need the assistance of pliers in order for it to move.
Once he has already finished this step, the next thing he should do would be to put a little bit of masking tape on the pieces. Also, he should put a rather big roll of masking tape on the edges of the body parts and then wrap the parts with some tin foil. The ball of masking tape will be the ball in the ball and joint.
Now after that has already been done, then the next part would be to add the Super Sculpey on the skeleton. When starting out, one should first rub a very thin layer of the Sculpey on the body parts. When one has already done this, then one may just add more of the Sculpey as much as he pleases.
Now this is the part that gets rather interesting. In this part, one may now mold the body, the head, and the other parts by adding and reducing the amount of Super Sculpey. Of course he may also start carving out the face by adding some holes and putting some accessories in places that need them.
The last step would be to now stick all the parts together. Now do take note that at the edge of the segments, there should be a ball where the masking tape was placed and a joint that it will connect to. Connect these pieces and bake them in the oven for a few minutes before taking it out and putting on the clothes.
