All girls in childhood just love to play with paper dolls, draw all kinds of outfits for them, cut accessories from mom's glossy magazines and build paper furniture. But there is another way to create a unique colorful wardrobe - modeling dresses from plasticine. Today, together with you, we blind such clothes. We may need such knowledge in the case of creating any doll or princess. Naturally, the dress model can be any, as well as the color of the clothes. So from a whole plasticine set you get a huge wardrobe for all occasions.

The following colors were used in this lesson:

• purple;
• blue.

1. Prepare bright plasticine for work. Since it is impossible to take your eyes off the bright bars in the box, you can use a larger number of shades.

2. To create a skirt and bodice, prepare two balls of different sizes.

3. Press the smaller ball with your fingers and deform until its outlines turn into the upper part of the dress. Put a small beige cake on the neckline.

4. To make a long evening dress, form a cone-shaped hem from the second ball, turning it into a cone.

5. To make the dress even more magnificent, grab the base of the cone with your fingers and pull it out in a circle.

6. Insert a match into the waistband to further fasten the parts.

7. Combine the top and bottom of the garment.

8. To get a more magnificent option and hide the place of fastening of parts, stick on the sides semicircular trains of blue plasticine. Fold the stack.

9. Sleeves can be made long or just attach wide pancakes.

So the dress is made of plasticine. It remains only to insert the head from any pupa of a suitable size into the upper part.

Each little girl will have at home one or more Barbie or Monster High dolls, light or dark, a singer or a ballerina. Probably, many of you have thought about the question of what to dress our doll with: in pants or a skirt, sweater or T-shirt, what to wear. In this article, you will learn how to make things for dolls with your own hands.

Smart dress

The process of manufacturing the dress can be traced on the example of a master class on weaving from rubber bands. You can do it using the Monster Tail machine.

To work, you need 86 rubber bands of the same color, a hook. If you want to make a two-color dress, then you must use 72 elastic bands of one color and 18 of another.

We put on gum, twisting the figure-eight according to such a scheme.

We throw the next row in the simplest way.

Remove a pair of lower elastic bands in the middle with a hook. We knit the whole row in this way.

We put on the third row and again we throw off the elastic bands in the middle. According to this scheme, weave eight more layers of elastic bands.

We begin to consolidate our work: from the last column we transfer the elastic to the next column.

We work on this column: we start its hook inside and grab the lower eyelet with it, which we then throw on the neighboring column. Weave clockwise.

After we knit the whole circle, put on the last elastic band on the first pin.

We leave the row, which is located on the line closer.

We put the elastic bands on the pins and take off the lower ones.

So weave 4 more rows.

When you weave six layers of rubber bands on four columns, then transfer the rubber from the extreme column to the next one, which is counterclockwise.

Now we remove the two lower gum from the extreme pin to the next. Weave to the end of the row.

At the very end, put the hook in the column, take a pair of elastic bands, pull them and pass them through all the elastic bands that are on the column. They should be in the middle of the gum. We put the second loop on the hook.

Pull another pair of elastic bands on the hook, pull them through the previous two. So we weave three more rows.

We don’t put the last loop on the hook, hold it with your fingers. Bring it into the corner of our product and then put this loop on the end of the hook. We form a loop and tighten it, and our beautiful dress for Barbie doll is ready.

Using plasticine, you can do small but necessary things for the game. For example, looking at this photo selection, you can understand that plasticine is used to mold food, small decorations, flowers, and gifts. All these products will give the house for dolls home comfort.

We sew from socks

Today, Monster High dolls are very popular among girls, and Baby Bon dolls among small ones. Thanks to socks, you can easily and quickly sew t-shirts on them. To do this, you need to take a sock, cut off the excess part, make cuts for the hands and flash our product. And cute t-shirts for dolls are ready. In addition to socks, you can also use tights, old bedding, shreds of fabric.

To get the original neck, you need to tuck the top of the sock.

From one sock you can make, for example, a set of clothes from a T-shirt and skirt.

The process of sewing from socks for Baby Bon dolls can be traced on the example of the selection of photographs provided below.
